Those aren't actually green zoas -- those are button polyps. Very similar though! The button polyps will take food if you gently squirt some meaty stuff at them with a turkey baster.

I knew that.duh. I dont no why i said zoas. We just fed them this morning. Thanks
 
No pics this time. BUT THERE IS MOTION IN THE OCEAN NOW. I just got two more #3 koralias. I have got flow in the tank now. I was running a HOB filter with 2 nano koralias and one small power head. I was fighting cyano. So i wanted more flow. So now i have the HOB ,2 NANOS AND 2 #3s. I still need to figure out if there are natrates or phosphate problems. They are both testing 0 or .25. wich there could be masking being done buy the algae. But i have the flow problem solved! ye haa

Its supposed to be some sort of acan. Its not out fully yet. That is one of the pieces I got from my UNCANCELLED aquaCON order!!!!
 
That's why I was confused. The round polyps definitely look like acans... But the elongated oval ones look more like brains. I think I could say for sure if I saw a pic without its feeding tentacles out. Whatever it is, it looks really nice!
 
Time fpr an update.we lost alot due to the electrical storm of 2010! ( stray voltage!!!!!)The list consists of 1 clown,1 red manderin,2 star fish, 1 acan , 1 flower pot ,2 groups of mushrooms,1 gsp,1 favia brain and 4 emerald crabs!!!!!:frustrat::shock::death::(:(:(.

Now for the good news. We had several pull thru tho. 1 clown ,1 damsel:grumble: another gsp .green button polyps ,clams ,orange spot gobie and a coral beauty. The tank has really settled back down. Now that I have the grounding probe hooked up. I will post some piks of some new editions.
But first something I am a little proud of. I made a mistake and bought a Coco worm from a ( lets say a non reputal dealer) that said they were easy to keep. So i made a decision to do the best i can with him. He is really doing good after i moved him around a bit and found him a place he likes in the tank. I feed him on a regular basis and he has grown a fair amount. You can see in the pic, the new part of the tube he has built in the last couple of weeks. The new white part is a good 3/4 of an inch long.

What are you doing with the worms??
I saw some at my lfs yesterday and had to control the urge to buy one. I heard they were hard to keep...
 
Ya thats what they say. I found that out after i bought mine. I just had to find the right spot for him. Slower flow. I also feed him 3 to 4 times a week. Freeze dried cyclopeeze, phyto plankton or reef snow. I direct feed him with a turkey baster, some times with pumps on sometimes with them off. He looks like he is thriving, but we will wait and see in a few months. He has been alot of fun to keep. Maybe a little more work then other things but fun.

I think if people outside of this hobby knew what we go through to keep WORMS alive, they'd be shocked!! :lol:
 
Update, our coral beauty is a bit of a pain. He has made it hard for us to be able to keep any fish other than the originals. We are down to 4 fish. 1maroon clown, coral beauty, orange spot gobie( carl) and a filimented flasher wrasse. The good news is as of right now the beauty doesn't mess with any of the corals. If he does, that will be the last straw and he will go away. I will try and post a full tank shot tonight. My wife took some nice ones today.
