Thanks everyone! I am still trying to add to my collection. Seems like every time i think I have all that I want. i see something else that I want to add.
 
Nice stuff. I like that tort in the back left.

Wow, I am surprised that you can keep all the zoas/palys under the same lighting as the SPS. I would be afraid of the zoas/palys losing color.

imo zoas look best under high k metal halides
 
LOL.....I also keep most of my zoas/palys under an Ushio 150W 20K DE bulb. What I meant was that SPS typically need more intense (higher par) lighting than softies or LPS to bring out their best colors. I have kept some zoas under a 250W Phoenix and they lost some of their brilliance. I also currently keep some zoas/palys under a 150W Phoenix and they appeared a bit bleached. I was just a bit surprised that both the SPS and the zoas looked so good right next to each other under the same lighting.
 
Gotcha. :)

I do have to keep some of them in the shade or lower in the tank for sure.
Like jokers, mellow yellow etal.
