I am soooo original- I tried to name them Cobalt Greens... LOL I wanted to do Kermit's Blues, but Kris didn't like th name. Would have been cool to have them next to Miss Piggy Pinks and Animal Redds...

Is that the original colony of goochsters in that first pic?

No, the original colony was only about 3"x3". It had less than 200 polyps on it. Some blues and the goochsters. After I let it fully encrust the original rock I fragged it into six pieces. Sold five, kept one. From that one frag I started 25 one polyp frags with one 10 polyp mixed frag left from the mother colony. I sold the 25 frags when they fully encrusted and put the 10 polyp frag on a stream rock. That first pic is the stream rock. It is probably 65-75% covered. The second pic is another colony I started for propagating about two years ago from a few polyps chipped off the stream rock. I have since then probably taken another 25 really big frags from that one. The picture is what is left, took it yesterday. My original 10 polyp mother colony was traded to JCigars about a year ago. So everything that I have left is truly tank grown. By the way the pinks started as two polyps that I got almost six years ago. All of those zoanthids I have started as frags.
