kinda cool green zoas

[angry gary]

i had a small frag of zoas and recently these two larger zoas popped up and are taking over the rock. any one have a name for them the skirts are a light purple. sorry for the poor picture. i will try to get a clearer one.

nice, one of these days i'll get one

 

[Azurel]

Nice surprise there.....Can't beat that. Yup I agree those are Nuclear Greens.

 

[surfn]

sorry, i'm gonna have to go against nuclear greens....those look like rock anemones...not zoas. will need a closer and clearer picture though to be sure

 

[Marine Flora]

touch em, you can tell if its a zoa or an anemone. i gotta agree w/ surfin, those types of anemones come on alot of solomon zoos

Hmmm you may be right about the anemone theory. Awful green though. Here is Marvs NG for reference.

thanks Rev..

can you pls get us another pic? they do look like rock anemone to me.. I've had some very similar in color.. too bad I got rid of them before I got the Nuclears.. that would've made a good comparison...

Also are the zoas around them closed up?

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

I played with the contrast and cropped it just to see if you could see better.

 

[Azurel]

Yea could be anemones.....I didn't think of that at first...

 

[angry gary]

here are a couple better pictures. not marvin or gadget quality but the best i could do! the first is them closed up. they are the two large ones in the center. next picture is one open with a flash under actinics and the third is without a flash under actinics.
if they are rock anemones where can i get them at? they are really colorful pretty darn cool looking!

I don't know man those look like Nuclear Green to me closed up, but kinda look like an anemone too....But they do look like they are attached to the rock like a polyp as as apposed to an anemone.

[reefboy]
