[ambystoma82]

I happen to play with an Indo zoa. Very dirty but turned out to be a blue zoa with yellow center.

Cheers (:

hahaha that's true, so I am blasting it under my 150w MH. Just trying in the bid to return its colours and perhaps grow more (:

Anyway bros and sisters, I am not trying to shoot anybody or anyone down. I am just sharing my views and remind everyone not to write any corals off the book. Anybody who feels sensitive or offended by my opinions, I sincerely apologise in advance (:

Cheers

eh sis u got play ard with e colour of pink zoas b4 a nt huh?

put nearer to light get lighter or darker?

i wonder is it same as blue mushroom...lighting...

Tried pink zoas, b4. Used to put them at the top of the rockscape, cos I thot pink likes more light. Anyways, had them for a while then they melted away. Not sure why.... But I have seen pink zoas in other bro's tank and it placed on the sandbed and it's doing well. So this time, the pink one I got from Iwarna's last shipment, half put on sandbed and other half in the newly scaped tank, under 250w mid tank. Will see what's the difference.....

[yikai]

hmm..us zoos same as indo zoos. if thats the case, then all those "US" indo zoos i buy only do well. coincidence perhaps

[thomas_lim]

US zoos = INDO zoos

US zoos = ok

INDO zoos = CMI

the equation nt tally lehz.. lolx...

u c bro nuclear fibre also post the bam bam from indo..

but if u realli notice zoos tht come from US is much cleaner and healthy

mayb they qurantine well..

indo zoos r rather dirty,poylps with sand and rock always full of pest critters...

The zoas from US are usually a few generations from those collected from the sea and tank raised which is why they are cleaner and healthy. Which also explain why their prices are higher and of course the freight factor too la.

But not all shipments of US zoas is 100% healthy as some are "victims" of shipping and handling stress.

[ReDDeviLs]

bro lemon what u mean by cmi?

melt away or wat?

maybe got pest.. indo zoas normally come with alot of pest,cos they r cheap and come in big chunk... lfs and supplier normally dun bother abt them too much cos they r cheap.

my experince with pink zoas are they like more light, always place higher.. but not too high also... like wat sis ming mention will melt.

if u plc them in sandbed, they will have long "neck" over sometime

Can try the frags in the newly scaped tank with more light now. Not fragging anything at the moment, cos for some unknown reasons, I keep getting paper cuts. Best not be messing with zoas..

wahahahahaha.... tht got totally nth to do with reefing lehz..

Gloves!

No, I'm just kidding. Pls take care... putting on some aloe might help soothe the itch during the healing process.

[ambystoma82]

c u tml with my antidote..

sorry if tml mayb too busy unpacking to notice u lolx..

[ming69]

Thanks Bros for your concern. Yes, have been trying to remember to use gloves, but most of the time forget.

Bro amby is right too, the hands do get more sensitive when I mess with the tank often. When that happens, just have to try to stop putting the hands in the tank, only restricted to cleaning the glass and picking up the corals if they happen to fall on one another.

[ambystoma82]

i just did a new stunt e other day..

i actually frag my zoas but 4get to wash my hands with soap n eat chicken rice.. -__-!!!..

luckily only a small diarohea..

[Creetin]

yeah we read before some dude in US, his dog ate the zoas supposedly and went to dog heaven.

Another reefer went hospital with some serious ailments and the docs couldnt do anything and said just pray u get out alive... !

our marine inhabitants sure are lethal arent they? even sea snakes are more venomous than the land ones, excluding those crazy inland taipans from OZ

According to the zoaid cure page, it should work. Did u take any before and after pic, to see the progress?

Maybe u can start a thread to show us your experiment.
