New zoa's...

[FishBeard]

9 frags shipped priority usps, looks like 0/9 melted in shipping. Amazing a few of them started opening up as soon as they were out of their shipping bags. All in all, I'm not disappointed with the deal, if one does kick the bucket, 8/9 is still pretty good for what I paid for them all!

5 minutes after starting acclimation:

Finished acclimating:

nice looking frags. not the 1 or 2 polyp frags some people sell.

 

[ColorMeCorals]

They all look fine. It takes sometimes 3 days for them to open after a rough shipping.

 

[SaylorsReef]

Looking good!

Where did you get them from?

 

[Pufferpunk]

They look closed, not melted.

I know, but 1 maybe 2 of them looked a little worse for wear after their trip thru the postal system. One of the bags ripped from a jagged piece of rubble and those were only "really wet" when opened up, not actually in water at the time. They all look MUCH happier this morning, I expect to be able to post up another pic today or tomorrow of them all opened up.

I thought I already said but I guess the post never went thru. They were from an online vendor selling thru eBay. I haven't seen them post anything else since I bought these so I think they were just selling off what they had left why I got such a good deal.

Haha, yea! I really need a real tank now to hold everything I've collected so far. I need to get a good pic of the Yuma and purple zoa colony I picked up after you left. I don't think the 29 is gonna be enough of an upgrade to keep me happy.

I can see :a31: Sounds like you should go with a 75gal.

Keep us posted on how these progress. I am working on my Zoa Hill in the tank and would love to keep adding more zoas to it!!

I got my eviction notice today, the fiancee wants the 14 cube cleared out and set back up the way she wants it. I need to set my own tank up soon and move all my frags over to that. On the plus side, at least I will have more room to actually mount all these little frags to rockwork so they can grow properly!

 

[lunacris]

if your gonna go 75 why not go 90 and if ur good with a 90 push it to a 120 that should hold you down for a while but as everyone knows a reef is never big enough hobby is like a drug never enough lol

All 9 frags at this time are opening completely, well most of the time, sometimes the hermit crabs are bothering the frags since they are on the sand right now waiting for my new tank.

Here's a few recent pics of some of my Zoa/Paly collection:

I absolutely love the zoas in the first picture.

 

[salt0727]

wow! love the zoanthids, I had a really nice collection going thanks to Aquapros but lost all but 2 small frags to nudis so I will slowly start to collect them again

Congrats on the new additions.

Thanks, but the "new" additions were like 3 months ago already. Hoping to add a few more new ones tomorrow evening actually.
