Zoanthid ID - Common to GVRD.
 

If you don't believe in zoanthid names, layman's terms, or santa claus, kindly close this window now and walk away. This thread is for the luvahz...

Zoos I've seen in the Vancouver. I'll add more zoos to the thread as I find them. If you own the zoos and don't mind your name being put up here, let me know. I didn't want to violate your privacy. Protecting you from a bombardment of PMs. :)

Thanks.
