All bright yellow zoas? whats the ID?

[Xirxes23]

we got in some BRIGHT yellow seemingly true zoanthids at work. They are not the standard proto-pally stinging "yellow polyps" with that mustard yellow look. These are super bright with a small skirt.

Any pics? Saw some pics of mellow yellow but doesnt quite look like them. I couldnt find anything on zoaid either.

I will post pics tomorrow for a concrete id but wondering ahead of time if they are rare or common and what to call them thanks!

are they like these?

 

[Xirxes23]

very much like those, but the centers are yellow exaclty like the outsides, perhaps a light source variation?

Bleached RDE's?

 

[sr71]

No they are not bleach. The camera just captured more green, in person it's more yellow in the center. It kept its color for almost a year before it melted away and it was always out, never in the shade. The guy I got this from called it toxic avenger. hth

This is the colony that was at my work... extreme macro, but was a colony of about 35 (after my frag of course) went for 140 today.

standard 50/50 PC in this picture

ive been looking for those forever
i THOUGHT i got them since they were extremely yellow in the lfs tank but now are starting to turn green...

 

[Xirxes23]

these were brought in from a customer who was moving.... i noticed that they were probably very rare... scooped up at a decent price i guess... i have aobut 10 very small polyps of this i am growing out.

Are those from an alien planet?

 

[Xirxes23]

planet woah, galaxy of dang.

They catch your eye from quite a distance... not enhanced in any form either

Amazing color. I hope they don't morph on you. What camera are you using?

 

[lakewood711]

Totally awesome can I get on the frag list, please, I'm begging.

 

[Xirxes23]

That shot was with a Cannon Xti 10.1 megapixel, automatic white base.

I have 9 polyps now, going to watch them for a bit to see growth rates bewfore fragging.

That's the best dang yellow zoanthids I have ever seen, even better then pirates booty...
