thanks for the kind words, guys! CoralNutz....for sure!...i've got some other LPS pieces you might like to see (re: that pic you noted...it's not a lobo....although it has never been comfirmed either way....one of my friends (super hardcore acan collector) says it's a type of deepwater acanthastrea...but some swear it's a lobophyllia...no one knows - not unless we can examine the skeleton...and that ain't NEVER gonna happen, not on my watch! LOL

here's more zoas.....(these are all taken with a Nikkor Macro, by my buddy Joe)

this one looks like CRAP under regular lights.....had to make use of a spot light and some photoshop magic (just a bit!) to bring out the colours a *bit*....

as of right now, this particular zoa has gone yellow...barely ANY blue....dunno what the heck happened

taken from my TOTM spread on my canadian reef messageboard....i lost this entire rock to the goddam zoa fungus a little while back R.I.P.

the lone paly in this image is the one pictured at the top of this post....amazing how different they look, eh?

more later!
