I am soooo original- I tried to name them Cobalt Greens... LOL I wanted to do Kermit's Blues, but Kris didn't like th name. Would have been cool to have them next to Miss Piggy Pinks and Animal Redds...

LOL

i only have a handful so its easy to choose one lol not have a colony as it sort of disintigrated but i did save quite a few polyps, not a good picture but i call them Ring of Desire

Probably my favorite. Both colonies started from one ten polyp frag I kept from the original mother colony.

Is that the original colony of goochsters in that first pic?

so far this is my favorite colony. They are similar to rainbows, but just not as many colors. Still very nice..(this is the best pic I have at the moment.

No, the original colony was only about 3"x3". It had less than 200 polyps on it. Some blues and the goochsters. After I let it fully encrust the original rock I fragged it into six pieces. Sold five, kept one. From that one frag I started 25 one polyp frags with one 10 polyp mixed frag left from the mother colony. I sold the 25 frags when they fully encrusted and put the 10 polyp frag on a stream rock. That first pic is the stream rock. It is probably 65-75% covered. The second pic is another colony I started for propagating about two years ago from a few polyps chipped off the stream rock. I have since then probably taken another 25 really big frags from that one. The picture is what is left, took it yesterday. My original 10 polyp mother colony was traded to JCigars about a year ago. So everything that I have left is truly tank grown. By the way the pinks started as two polyps that I got almost six years ago. All of those zoanthids I have started as frags.
