Very nice little zoa garden.  What are those dark blues?
I thought you don't like zoas?

I don't mind zoas, I don't like palys :)

I've never seen ones so blue.

What size substrate do you have Darryl?  I need to add some more and I think I'm going to go to a larger grain size.

[/quote]I dont believe I ever said I dont like zoa's.  I've always had a few but recently started to get some of the high end collector types.  Those blues are supposed to be sexycorals good nights but I think they are just renamed and seem the same as tubbs blues.

I have sugar on the bottom and sea floor special grade on top but in the front I had to put a bag of crushed coral because the flow was so strong.

I think he meant me and I think he was referring to my dislike of palys of any colour :)

Know of anyplace selling those blues?  Or maybe you're already getting bored of that disc? ;)

I have a similar situation.  Sounds like a good solution.

I pm'd you Justin....ie. branching cyphastrea.

Here are the last of my photo session....

I need to come up with a clever name for this one.  Its a wild I had for years that did nothing good for me and than I gave it to jroovers and he coloured it up at which point I got a frag back....in high light and flow its a nice tabling acro.  I love how the green confusa is growing around it...almost reminds me of a flower.
