took some colony shots out of my bigger frag tank, really difficult to photograph this tank due to the lighting arrangement. sorry for some of the obstructed shots

These are the size of a quarter... the colony itself is absolutely huge, half a basketball size. Covered with these suckers!

I have had these for six months now, did not expect them to hold this color. Ultra low light, most of the colony is in shade.

I was not sure what these were at first... I half expected them to turn out to be pink and golds but they are definately not. after a few months they are staying very small, zoa like with really bright color. I have real pink and golds inches away and they look nothing alike in this tank.

Whenever I can find a good one I do. It takes a few months for them to plump up and start to look like this though. They are usually very stressed out when i first get them but this tank seems to work wonders on half sick zoa/palys. I have gotten some very good deals on buying some of the sickest looking ones from LFS. The third colony actually was pretty much white polyps when i got it.
