Zoas thinning, polyps shrinking and color changes

[PDR]

Here they are at 100% color, at this level the tank just looks an ugly yellow.


50% More what I consider "normal"


0% Actinic

I'll have to do some digging. Maybe a morph of mandarins. Spectrum can do funky things with zoas. I'll keep looking.

I agree they look a lot like mandarins.

We're all gonna be rich! GSP is now selling for $3 a polyp! ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious


Sorry I just couldn't help myself when I saw that. That has to be the least amount of gsp I have ever seen for sale lol

In other news, all the zoas are looking great having been in the DT for several weeks. The colors are already shifting and while I liked some of the coloration from the frag tank, I honestly think it was due to starvation and not necessarily the T5's.

Some of the zoas that were on the brink seem to have bounced back and I am really happy with them. The only problem is that they don't fit in my DT as is, so I need to find a better long-term solution.
