Without light specifications, it’s hard to say. Are you feeding them?
no I have not fed them yet.
Sorry.
I don’t.
I’m very unorthodox with running a tank.
According to “the rules” I shouldn’t have the growth in my corals that I do.
And occasionally I’ll get some that just don’t do well for unknown reasons.
I am unorthodox with my tanks aswell. have not had an issue until now but they are bouncing back so i guess something was bothering them. but its over now.

Zoanthids were the coral that really ignited my love for reef tanks and corals in general. From the beginning I fell in love with all the different colors those little button polyps had to offer. They were cheaper way back when but today they still offer the same benefits as they did many years ago. Colorful, colony growers, pretty easy to grow and you can buy them in colonies or single polys. So today let's talk about zoanthids!

1. Currently what is your favorite zoanthid? (pics would be awesome) I'll make a poll afterwards and we can vote!

2. How many different zoa frags or colones do you have in your reef?

Hobbyists often worry about pest from live rock, however IME you are more likely to get pests from zoa frags. Aiptasia, bryopsis, vermetids, etc. Zoas, while beautiful, are risky business.

Can you share the settings you are using on your S9

I have the latest S21 (2021 model) and NO WAY does my S21 take pics like this.
I take my pics through the lens of a pair of UV coral glasses. They’re cheap and the picture’s colors come out sharp.
…just a suggestion.

As ClownSchool said, lenses make a big difference. I took these pictures with my old Galaxy S7 and a $25 lens kit (link at bottom). I didn't change any of the settings.

It says they are no longer available, but there are lots of other coral specific lens sets on Amazon.

Зоантиды были кораллами, которые действительно разожгли мою любовь к рифовым аквариумам и кораллам в целом. С самого начала я влюбился во все разные цвета, которые могли быть у этих маленьких полипов-пуговиц. Раньше они были дешевле, но сегодня они по-прежнему предлагают те же преимущества, что и много лет назад. Красочные, выращивающие колонии, довольно легко выращивать, и вы можете покупать их колониями или отдельными полистами. Итак, сегодня поговорим о зоантидах!

1. Какой ваш любимый зоантид в настоящее время? (фото были бы классные) Я потом проведу опрос, и мы сможем проголосовать!

2. Сколько различных зоа фрагов или колонов у вас на рифе?
