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

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.

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.
