Hey everybody! So I have been keeping these palys a secret for a little bit, letting them come out from the nasty stores tanks and into a happy, healthy environment. They have finally colored up to a true rainbow color effect with speckles in them(this new olypus is hard to really capture some of the coloration, so you can't really see the speckles). I did hit the auto adjust button in windows photo gallery, so it is a little bit overexposed but these are rather beautiful in my opinion. I was never a Z/P guy until I got this rock for my nudibranch tank and these things are just insanely cool. I just wanted to show what T5's can do over time with the right K, lighting, parameters and a little bit of patience :) Hope you enjoy!

The cool thing is they are kinda indecisive in which color they want to be so they have changed their color patterns quite a bit since getting them. Have no idea what they will look like in a week or two but will update or maybe they will stay like this, have no idea to be honest. Maybe I'll call it the bipolar paly LOL!!!!

Thanks again guys, really appreciate someone else admiring a unique gem without a name :)

Thanks Tonya :)

If you were serious about getting a nudibranch tank I can talk to my buddy and see which ones he has and probably get them for extremely cheap and send them off to you guys(gotta talk rev into it first though ;) ) Not sure what species they are but some eat sympodium while others eat softies and sponges and other stuff. Just let me know if you are interested!
