I still think its a zoa. I've had aussie hitchhiker zoas that look like that. No neck at all and almost non existent skirt.

I've never seen a zoa without a neck or skirt, but this is an Aussie scoly so maybe just an Aussie variety i havent seen before. The other things that makes me think they are not Zoa is they have a puffy outer ring and an indentation in the center. Also the skin is not smooth like a normal Zoa. It looks kind of ridged

Maybe you could start direct feeding them something like reefroids or something along those lines. Maybe that will speed up growth and maybe even color them up if they are scoly's

This is one of the COOLEST threads I've stumbled upon in awhile.
I really hope you continue to keep us updated. You have a nice little paycheck growing there! After three years in the hobby, and plenty of hours spent drooling in desire, I finally got my first scoly this spring. It's just a bleeding apple. BUT, I recently rescued a bleached scoly for dirt dirt cheap, and my fingers are crossed that it's a master scoly. Now I want MINE to have babies. |

Search acanthastria maxima oman. Short answer is, according to most scientific experts, they're available one and only one location in the ocean, where exportation is illegal (and hint, it's not bali).

DCBB the pics on post 49 are from 08/03. The growth rate is really slow. I'm sure I could get them to grow faster if I cut them off and exposed them to more light.

A simple explenation for the "pattern" could be the holding rack it may have been resting in prior to the end consumer recieving it. Zoas may have been present on the PVC, or as hitch hiker simply migrated up from various positions to a level just above your sand bed to survive. Just a thought. -Justin Last edited by Justin74; 08/29/2012 at 06:11 PM. Reason: typos |

Idk if that is a skirt or skeleton, but I'm very curious. Mine has the same thing in the same place. The very same colors and formation. But mine is sick. I bought a unhealthy one for cheap and I'm healing it. I wanna leave it alone as much as possible.
