I thought I'd start a thread of my favorite corals... I've been collecting zoanthids since 2005... I've had many many different morphs from the past and currently, I'm focusing on propagating about 35 morphs... in this thread, I will post z's and p's eye candy, progression shots, top down shots, and other interesting shots I take or have taken... there will be lots and lots of photos so hope you guys don't mind...
I'd like to start out some FTS of my tank.. it's gone through a lot of aquascaping and I'm yet to find one that makes me happy... hopefully with the new tank I'm setting up in the next month or two, I can find the best aquascaping for my zoas and palys... so here goes..
