If anyone has zoos they want me to add to this thread. send me a LARGE clear macro shot. I will find the name and post it. let me know if you want to be anon or not. Looking for more common ones now.

Wow, I'm soooo jelous. I don't have many zoos left after the attack of a zoo eating rabbit fish.

How could I go about getting my hands on some of these?

well I beg, borrow and steal. I do a bit of trading and watch the stores like a hawk. Alot of the time you will see a single colorful morph mixed into a colony of others, sneak it out and hope it grows into more. Patience is the key... and $$ :D Sorry to hear about yours... still have that nasty wabbit

*BUMP*
Anyone have an ID on these zoos? they were sold to me as "White encrusting polyps" from Big Al's and they're more lavendar than white now.
