Which ZOA do you prefer?

[Ocean’s Piece]

I love my utter chaos. They can morph too but they turn into some super interesting morphs imo. Everything in my tank is closed for lights out but I have these pics. The first is my utter chaos non-morphed. The second is a strange little morph I got as a combo rag. Consensus on here was that they were morphed ucs. I was skeptical but I moved my real utter chaos to lower light and low and behold they spit out one of these dudes lol. Also pics of my Gatorades to come tomorrow. I literally just got them two weeks ago so there are none on this laptop.

Edit: My tag may be Zoa_Fanatic and I love them more than any other coral, but @footgal is the resident zoa expert here. When I need advice I go to her. Just FYi.

Edit 2: Just had a thought. If you like this color scheme maybe you would be interested in goblins on fire. Mine are absolutely beautiful and they stay bright and pretty in both my tanks no matter where I put them. Sample pic and pics of mine attached. I fragged these guys and high light, low light, high flow, low flow, they're always gorgeous.

Wow those goblins are stunning. I know we both use the same stock Biocube lights so I’m sure if they grow fine for you I’ll likely have some of the same results (I know there are other factors but lightings one of the main things). Zoanthids are so diverse it’s hard to choose just one.

Yeah they actually didn't like being super high in my 32 LED cube. They were growing and pretty but not spreading fast. I moved them lower and they took off. I put them in my biocube 16 led and they wanted to be right at the top lol. They're doing great in both tanks. I got mine from @uvaduthie on here. Super nice guy and his zoa are soooo cheap and always in perfect condition on arrival.

I have a few zoos footgal like my cb white zombies that show more color when they are in low light. Is that because of the LEDS in my biocube? Thats the only one I have where low light means brighter.

Yeah I said most just for that reason. Super white zoas lack a lot of the pigmentation that protects them from UV (essentially they are susceptible to sunburns and therefore like lower light) and super dark zoas (think exosphere) usually prefer lower light because they have a ton of pigmentation and absorb a lot of light, more than they can manage if it’s a very high light area.

Ya know those white Grandis I have never did properly color up. They got that green ring around the bell that some of the brown grandis get but that's about it.
