I wanted to start a thread for your new zoas. If you purchased a frag or colony within the past month give us a view. Please don't post your favorite zoas you've had for the past year, just newbies.

I got these about 3 weeks ago at a club social:

Eagle eyes on one side and an unnamed zoa frag :shock: :shock:

Just got these today! RPEs my new favorite. You can see that the polyp on the side is still adjusting. Silly newb!

they look exactly like the kind i have, just mine are getting pounded with way too bright light, and have faded a bit.

i thought you werent gonna get any new corals for a while due to your zoa pox problem? just curious

I wasn't going to get any new zoas, but since RPEs are palys they are not affected by the POX.

I have stuck all my infected zoas into a QT tank for now. I'll wait and see what happens.

Al you got a PM

seriously? wow, i had no idea about that one. i figured since its all the same genus/species (zoanthid sp.

), pretty much the same DNA, thus can be infected by the same bacteria/viruses/parasites.

Yeah, my palys have no POX issues at all. And, a lot of other zoa people have noticed the same thing. The unfortunate thing is that I dont' want to ship out anything in my tank for fear that these POX may be hiding in the live rock or frag mount.
