kinda cool green zoas

I say they are NUKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice score Gary. How is the tank doing?
 
I will post some pics of mine once I get home. When messed with they retreat up into the nook in the rock they are attached too. mine also crawl around. I propped a rock onto one of mine (unknowingly) and it had split by the next day. two days after that, one had moved about 3 inches away, and the other stayed...

Here are the ones I have, sorry its a little big and fuzzy :) I still havent mastered my camera.

Hey Matt can you get a pic of them closed up?

The reason I said conclusively they are Nukes is it looks like they have sediment in their tissue. You can see it in the last pic of them closed up, which I don't think the anemones have a speckled tissue......See if you can get a pic of them closed up.......

Those are sweet anemones, I had a couple but have lost their location in the tank.....Could be dead to I suppose.
 
yeah.. they do look very close to Nuclears...

it'll be awesome to get a photo of those anemones closed up Matt.. I don't remember mine having sediment on the stolon when I had those anemones...
 
yeah, that pic of them closed up definitely looks like a protopaly, so prob nuc greens. ;)

minibow matts pic DEFINITELY shows rock anemones.

man, i didnt realize they looked so close. lol
 
somehow I missed angrygarys last pic with them closed up. His are definetly zoas (nucs). When I agitate mine, they retreat into the rock, and not just close up... I have nuclear greens in my tank and the nucs are a lot brighter. the patterning and coloration is extremly close... I will try to get a pic of them closed...
 
/agree with nukes b/c of the closed pic as well. I think when closed protos look like the edge of little rubber ballons rolled up.

:D

chris,
do you have any nukes? if not, you are welcome to these if you want. maybe a couple frags in trade?? (or in my case, in charity!) PM me if you want.

Gary I said they were nukes from the beginning and after seeing the pics closed up, I say 110% nukes!!

Nice!
 
its nice to have something good happen after i lost a few a while back to pox. but i do not really understand where they came from. did they just happen to be there all along or were they at some point in a tank or system that had nukes in it?
