A lot of zoa addicts are about to have overdoses.. including me :scared:

 

[Singlefin]

Haha. Video is kinda long and boring. Sunlight and YouTube quality don't really show the colors well. Thanks for looking.

Sweet video! I watched the whole thing. Thanks for sharing!

Nice.

I would like to know if there any information on where the exact Zoanthids are?

Like Red Hornets are found here.

And Rastas are found here.

Videos of those in the wild would be even better.

Does anybody have any info like that?

 

[Singlefin]

I was always curious at to what acan colonies look like in the wild.

 

[flowflezy]

Very cool thanks I always wanted to know.

 

[Up2no6ood]

Can you turn the blues up next time.:xd:

 

[Akwarius]

Fantastic video! I'm guessing the depth was less than 10m, which means those zoas are getting tons of light and tidal flow and loving it. Just wish he would have focused in so I could start ID'ing morphs, lol!

Most palys out of Hawaii are PE-types, such as the agave, ding dang, etc. Pretty sure hornets are Indo.

This was 2' to 5' deep. Full sunlight.

 

[spspirate]

Awesome!! Thanks for the vid! Very clear water.

Great video. It seems those palys are taking over and killing everything. Those look like texas trash type of palys?

 

[Graffiti Spot]

Are Texas Trash the Most Toxic Paly's?

I have heard of them crashing tank due to their toxin but was wondering how toxic they actually were?

 

[skinz78]

Very cool, I want them all!

Might be them. The camera never gets close enough for a positive ID.

According to this Plosone study, the most toxic palythoa is P. heliodiscus.

How do we know which ones those are?

Most people know the common name not the scientific name.

Sweet video. I just want to dive in the Caribbean at night with a blue led flashlight. Now that would be epic! Other than coming face to face with a predator as I scour his territory lol.
