Palys I acquired. I'd please

[zoajunkie83]

I got these on a trade a bit ago and starting to shoot off little ones. Was in bad shape when I got it and now showing its true colors!!! Thanks in advance!

 

[Joeganja]

looks like candy apple reds

 

[emmaleegrech]

Definitely not a candy apple red. This looks more like a candy apple purple morph.

 

[zoajunkie83]

Yeah close to reds but purple instead. Thabks

 

[emmaleegrech]

Welcome

 

[zoajunkie83]

Lol :$ just always getting these different changes on color with the change of my lighting. Always hard to tell sometimes

 

[emmaleegrech]

Yeah I'm looking to get t5 as well as my LEDs as some zoas tend to lose colour under LEDs I've found so going to try a combo of both

 

[zoajunkie83]

I would love a combo. Maybe retrofit some t-5 in my main tank. But my frag tank is strictly t-5. I really think you can't beat the t-5 with growth other that metal halide like I seen in my buddies frag tank.

 

[emmaleegrech]

Yeah but halides are expensive to run! Here's one of my candy apple purple frags for reference for you:

 

[zoajunkie83]

That looks exactly like them. Thanks. And yes expensive for sure

 

[emmaleegrech]

That looks exactly like them. Thanks. And yes expensive for sure

No worries

 

[zoajunkie83]

I'm going to get more since I found out what they are. Just picked up some awesome clove polyps going on my tank thread. Thanks sir/ma'am. Lol

 

[emmaleegrech]

Are they papaya clove polyps like these:

 

[zoajunkie83]

Yep. Bingo

 

[emmaleegrech]

I was given the frag above as a freebie, it had around 10 polyps but unfortunately I had some bad algae and lost all but 1 polyp, there's now 2 tiny ones growing back again luckily

 

[zoajunkie83]

Wish I could catch more of the orange. Macro pic when I can

These are amazing!

 

[Legendary Corals]

Those are nice papayas! I think those zoas are some sort of pink rainbow.
