    I have been trying to figure out what these zoos are that I have, just a few small polyps at the moment but are steadily growing. Do these look like Blue Tubbs Zoos to you? I think that's what they might be. My lighting doesn't have a lot of actinic so they aren't as "blue" as they should be. Do you think that's what they are? I actually found these guys on the backside of one of my mushroom rocks and chipped them off and glued them next to my eagle eyes and they are doing great there.

    They actually look more like a knock off African Blue Steel to me.

    Tubb's don't have as shaggy of a crown or any yellow coloration to the crown.
