Very nice! looks like you raided poland lol!

I wish! I would have taken his Shazaam colony, Bloodshots, Pandemoniums, Blue Lagoons, and much much more... If it was a raid. Cuz you know, raids = free coral.

awesome collection, Buddy, i aspire to your level of zoa-madness one day.

like a 3 month delay on this reaction but dang I really like those nightmare palys! Actually, i pretty much like em all, great picks all around.

Keep the pics coming!

Thanks Pkunk35! Glad that someone is looking through the thread.

Yup, those your hornets, lol! I don't think they morphed, just what they look under different lighting. That's them opened up on the first day in. Tbh, I got them just to complete my hornet collection. But now that I've seen them in person, I absolutely love them. In my top 10! Gave them a nice place to grow out, thanks for the great frag.

And fa'sho man, we still got a few things to trade around. The Shazaam isn't too impressive yet like photos of it that I've seen. Still waiting on it to color up. Looks like a washed out CAR for now.

Here's my latest addition... Dare I say... my new favorite?! Thanks Ricardo for holding onto this beauty for so long for me. I definitely need to find a nice place for it to grow out.

It's not a 5 Color, I got no idea what it is but holy I love it!

PZ Candy Apple Orange vs Candy Apple Red:

I also got a PZ Candy apple orange but am having trouble finding a suitable spot for it. Where do you have yours sitting with flow and light to have it opened nicely like that? BTW, great collection!

Thanks! The lights are either the Kessil 150 Ocean Blue spectrum or a Kessil 350 narrow.

Thanks icemountain! It's a gorgeous morph, different from the CAR for sure but it takes time for the color to kick in. At first my brightest CAR looked just like the CAO, but with high light and medium flow it turned into a gorgeous morph. Hope that helps? I had mine no less than 6 inches from the Kessil 150. Just leave it alone in one place and it should do fine, care is very similar to a CAR.

Your 5-color reminds me of Joes Rainbow Kazoo. Killer morph!

 

[BBoley24]

Buddy your purple hornets are the most amazing ive ever seen!

 

[PolandSpring]

Looks great!

 

[manoverboard]

Look like sunny d

 

[ReeferBean]

Have you noticed that the GOW grow fairly quickly? I started with 2 polyps in October and already have maybe 8. Big too I like them.

Very nice photos and zoas btw

They do don't they? I noticed that this one has a large pink ring vs the thin one on the Kazoo. I think it's killer too!

Thank BBoley. I can't the credit for them other than the photo since I got them from my friend. It's his hard work that they look that great.

Awesome thread buddy!!!!
I love zoa's Would you be able to tell me what these are please?

Apologies for cluttering your thread,Please delete it if you like

Many thanks
Mick

Not at all Mick! The closest I can think of is Sunny D, but there are a lot of rainbow morphs out there that it's hard to keep track of them. You should be fine calling them Sunny D's, I don't think anyone will call you out for that.

PS: That's an amazing photo! I really should start experimenting on different ways to get better shots like yours.

Looks great!

Thanks Adam. Hope finals were smooth and winter break is treating you well? I know I'm enjoying it!

Look like sunny d

Same thoughts.

I did notice that, I started with one and that single one popped 3 babies in all directions. Guess I was lucky. Would love to see some progression shots of your GOW if you have any.

I don't unfortunately. They are in a difficult part of the tank to capture without a lookdown and nice camera both of which I don't have. But same as you I have almost adults all the way around the 2 originals I received.

 

[ReeferBean]

Here is one of them with my lack of skills. Grown since.

 

[ReeferBean]

I took another on my lunch to show you but still not the best progression shot. You can see how the space monsters have grown quite a bit too. The yellow ones are hurting a little. * or should I say on their way out.

So before

And maybe a month or so later?

 

[buddythelion]

Great growth shot for a month! Looks like your paradises are getting bigger too.

 

[RandysReef]

Nice!
