Interesting Rasta Experiment

[lastlight]

very cool i'm going to try the same experiment as soon as i figure out how to frag a zoanthid. i can't believe how massive the blue bands are on those high-light rastas.

Cool experiment thanks for sharing! I was just thinking that some zoas liked low light and some could handle higher but its good to now that some are just versatile like that.

Interesting,


On the flip side. Can you mock reverse the experiment and see if the color morphs but to original? High Light to Low, and Low to High light?

i thought the exact same thing. The big wide blue band and the blue dot on the mouth is what surprised me most

I have found with many of my zoas and palys they are good to go in any type of light/flow. The only exception to this (for me) has been my tubs blues which MUST be shaded in my tank

Interesting question. Once both frags grow out a little further, maybe i will take a single head off of each and try that! I would be really interested to see the results
