My new blue zoa

[Tomoko Schum]

Hi y'all,

I just got this new blue zoa from an LFS very inexpensively. They got it from their wholesaler as "Super Blue". The actual color of the face of the zoa is a little deeper blue or a purplish. It has yellowish inner ring and skirt.

cool pick up. Looks like the african blue hornets coming in.

AOI, if you start loosing the blue and they become grey then place them in a lower light area.......

What is the difference between AOI and Blue/purple hornets?

Nice pickup. I got some of those about a month ago.

I bought a big colony of those about two months ago. They looked great for 2 weeks then slowly closed up one by one. I hear they like high light and high flow.

I split my colony so I could put them in 2 different spots. 1 high and high flow the other low in med flow. The 1 thats low is doing alot better than the 1 high.

I second this, I split my piece up and did the same thing. The piece in the sand bed is doing much better and looks much better than the piece closest to the light.
