I cant see the pic he posted (phone browser) but if its the one dearest Dawn is waiting for, its called "Darth Maul Zoanthids". recently found out they are super rare, and i may be only one of six people locally to have these (according to the source i obtained them from) . And Dawn, looks like 12 Now! once they grow to the right place, ill figure out how to frag it. very short and flat stems.

I have added an aussie duncan And a belle zoa. up to 20 Corals in 20 Gallons. although, my darth maul zoas Are not doing well. i was up to 13 polyps But had two detach and wither and for some reason only 5 Open. not sure why. i hear hard to keep. sad day. i hope they pull through.

I am not sure what causes zoas to do this.. I have had 2 colonies almost wither away to nothing over the past few weeks.... Both had approx 40-50 polyps and are now down to maybe 6-10 each..... At the same time I have about 30 different types of zoas in the tank and all of the rest are thriving...even the ones right next to each of the mentioned colonies... Go figure.

Tank is looking pretty good. I will try get some pictures uploaded soon. Not much more I can add to it now. Just trading stuff out for other stuff is about all I could do.

There is always something to do with the tank

...pruning...upgrading equipment...recently I have taken to testing the bajeebers out of the tank in an effort to confuse the heck out of myself....that has kept me occupied

Wheres those pics

In the last while... added a wicked Coral Beauty angel and my little green anemone has split. Yes I did take some pics of the tank and will get things together for posting.

My tank has needed some rearranging, again, to accomodate all thats in there. I also added new lights... URI 12000k/Super Actinic.... my tank exploded after this... colonies are soaking it up!

-Pink Panthers
-Purple Fission
-Dragon Eyes ( I think-will confirm name soon)
-Ring of Fire
-Belles (6 polyps now - from one, Thanks Dawn, doing well now!)

Neon Red Paly with Green skirt ( struggling for 3 years )

I think that covers it. I had to move stuff around and take stuff out as was just to cramped the way it was. Looks good right now... space for a branching coral of some sort. Taking suggestions.

SO I have started feeding my coral on a regular basis again, and things are exploding.

The exception being my Darth Maul Zoas.... they have again started to shrink... do not have high hopes for this colony. Went from 7 to 13 to 1 and a couple babies..... now big one not opening... this has happened over several months... 6 or so.. I cant explain it.

Anyhow... tooks pics tonight.. hopefully crop and post by weekend.
