they're not rare, but they can be finicky. one of the better looking zoas IMO.

They are worth every penny.

 

[JiggyReefer]

yeah that picture does them no justice that was a first day pic

 

[Mr E Wrasse]

very cool looking zoo.... and i don't collect em

 

[Ricordea]

I don't have a pic of it.Camera is giving me fits.But that pic is basically the same as I have.
I see where you mentioned not being rare?But I can tell you only a few were brought in.And 1 vendor won't mention their name here,actually bought everyone of them about 6.But knew a guy that help me out finding 1 poyp frag there in Orlando.Another sponsor had 1 frag said it wasn't forsale?If I wanted it had to go threw Ebay.Don't ask me why he had it there to begin with,if that was the case?That's why I mentioned how rare this zoo is.Maybe not so much in rare,but just hard to find a seller of these.

i see them around. i wouldnt call them rare, but they're certainly not common either...if that makes sense. i've had them on a few occasions, but they keep melting on me after a while.

The ones i have now are doing great, the first ones i got were about 2 years ago and i had a tank crash at one time and so i lost them. Just got them back. They are pretty hardy and mine seems to color up well mid/high right in the middle of those.

Sorry bro i have to disagree, i had those morphs as well and the bloodshots are completely different.

Ben, what type of lighting are you keeping yours under? If t5s, what is your bulbs color combo?

When i had them before they did great under 250watt phoenix 14k about 8-10" under the bulb. Thats when the pic in my avatar was taken. Right now they are mid level under 250watt 20k radiums, still pretty nice and colored but not as intense as they used to be before so hopefully i can get them back to their full potential again.

ben, did you get brians small colony? the one i had was doing great...then i decided to move it to a different tank, and it responded by closing up and melting on me.
