    I was feeding tonight and thought my red hornet zoas (not true morph) looked pretty awesome so I figured it was time to figure out my camera's macro mode and share with you zoa lovers! Tell me what you think?!

    I got the colonies from two diferent sources. The Back colony was from Southwell Aquatics. Alan (the propriator) was really great! they set me back $18.50 on ebay lol. The took almost 2 weeks to open but that was a 2 polyp frag in march so you can see how fast they grew in a new tank. The front colony was from our new sponsor Dream Corals. Jeremy was worried I wouldn't like them since they aren't the alternating skirt morph. I told him they look gorgeous and for $7.50 who can complain! They were the last of the polyps he sent me to open up. They dont look as good in the pic as they do in person, they have more blue on the disk than the SA Hornets, but the SA hornets are a little bigger. I think alot of that is that they have had alot more time in my tank than Dream Coral's polyps. Everyday my superman paly (who loves mysis) is getting darker and more colorful so I have no doubt the hornets will too!!!! I am super pumpede about both of them thanks for asking!!!
