blue Zoos?

[Ram_Puppy]

Are blue Zoo's really as rare as they have been made out to be? My understanding is that most zoos are green, brown, or orange. (and varying combinations of color on tentacles, disc, and so on.)

Anyhow, I looked at a few online vendors, and never really found much, and then went here, and this guy appears loaded out the wazoo with them, and many different types as well.

Alex - so are you going to share yours? :-)

[Ram_Puppy]

lol CAP... nice... I think I am particularly attracted to the navy blue color form with the neon green disc... so awesome... I am waiting for the metal halide addition before getting these though.

Ram - sounds cool. There are so many different colors and different patterns. It would be cool just to have a entire tank of zoos. Kind of look like an underwater garden!

i got my blues from reeftopia.com they came with a bit of a brown skirt but now under my dual 96 watt lights they are completely blue. they are absolutely beautiful and i couldnt pass up the 12 bux i paid for them! they will be ready for a couple of frags here in about a month or two so if youre really interested ill see what i can do.

take kare, steve

I was thinking the same thing... I know there are several different species of what we collectively call zoos, I think, Zoanthus, protopalythoa, and acrozoanthus, I wonder, if they will play well together? I know zoos are toxic, but I am unaware if they have stinging cells... (so much to learn, so little time.)

Steve - $12? I think they have them for like $36 now!

[Tim Marvin]

WOw! That first guy wants $85 a frag, $75 on special! 2X2 frag!!!!????? You would have to be insane to buy for that price! Nice zoo's though.

Yea, the aquadesignz guys camerawork is pretty shoody, if they are the same color as in his pictures they they are nice, but I think his white balance is messed up and the saturation is really high. PLus they are $$$, but who knows they may be superpimping wicked.

[Tim Marvin]

It looks like they are pictured under straight actinic! Most zoo's look pretty good under actinic!

[Ram_Puppy]

That's why I love this place... as a newb, I get honest reactions and get to learn from all you masters.

[Yancey]

Check the blue zoo's Aquadesignz has now on his page... those things are awesome!! Blue with light blue centers and blue tentacles!! Man i WANT SOME!

I can't find a better picture of them, but there they are. a kind of baby blue that later became deeper blue. I don't think they are around anymore.
