Things have been a little slow here lately in the Zoa Discussion forum, so how about we pick it up a little bit with a serious look at placement information on the various palys and zoanthids in our tanks.
I Don't want to turn this into a thread debating the "name game," but we all know that every zoa/paly is not the same, and the best current method we have to identify them is common or use names, so ID the zoa/paly by common or use name, describe your lighting and tank depth, and discuss where you placed them to achieve the best growth rate. Any additional comments on morphing due to lighting or depth can also be added, as well as any relevant information you know on preferred flow rates. Please also include pictures, and if you can do comparison shots under various lighting that would be great as well. Try to limit your post to a single zoa/paly each time, and lets see how many we can get posted up.
Also, just for fun, lets run through the alphabet - so the first poster starts with a zoa/paly with an "A" name, and then on through the alphabet. If we complete the alphabet we'll start over again with A and go again.
I don't want anyone to feel left out however, so if you don't know or don't care about names, feel free to post up any of your palys or zoas with a picture and the requested information.
Hopefully this thread will be fun, informative, and on-going.
