Tell me these are Mohawks :)

[ddr_phish]

Ok back in november I ordered some frags from someone, they sold me a single polyp of this and said it was a browned out Satan's Breath. I've kept them in low light and they've multiplied like crazy, but I got to thinking the past week, and they sure do like they are becoming Mohawks since I moved them into highlight. I'm hoping the colors continue to improve!!! :burn_joss_stick:

 

[m'akoyPINOY]

yep,it's mohawks!
it'll color up like mine.

 

[Reef Pets]

I agree, Mohawks.

 

[ddr_phish]

Sweet baby jesus, I'm in love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :xd::tongue::feel_good:

 

[Mallard]

Be waiting for my frag Josh :angel:

 

[JuniorMC8704]

yep, those are them. Put them in higher light, and the color will even get better.

 

[ddr_phish]

Haha, I'll get ya a frag Matt, you know that.

Junior, I moved them up less than two weeks ago from the sandbed to midway up and thats where this pic was just taken. However just a few minutes ago I moved them to the top of the tank, I hope they keep it up

Definately give them plenty of light, otherwise they lose the gold flecks, and that would be sad.....

Very Nice Colors. m'akoyPINOY great pics of them. Can I get a frag?

 

[kellyjn]

Colors should keep improving in higher light. I love mohawks.

Colors should keep improving in higher light. I love mohawks.

Is this true with all Zoa's? I have had some lose their colors and they are on my sandbed. Might have to try the move up!

 

[ddr_phish]

I think its really dependent on which Zoanthid/Palythoa it is. I know some need lower light for the colors to come out and others need high light. Wish I would of known these were Mohawks six months ago, but its a good thing I moved them up higher by chance and saw the color morph

 

[ReefDoctor]

Yup they need high light

 

[Hypertek99]

They should just change the name to Mohawks on zoaid. It's still listed as variable star i think.

 

[ddr_phish]

So are the Variable Star Mohawks different than normal Mohawks? They look alot more drab on ZoaID

 

[Hypertek99]

It's the same thing. Someone named them variable stars. But everyone know it as Mohawks.

 

[ddr_phish]

Ah ok, thanks for clarification.

 

[jeninjohnk]

high light under 400w's or high light under 150w's?

 

[ddr_phish]

LoL just 150w 14k Pheonix. In around two months I'm moving to an 8 bulb t5ho fixture though on a larger more shallow tank.

Just wanted to post an updated shot of the Mohawks
