close up of growth on those brown/orange zoos. I swear there's 10 new polyps a day with these things.

close up of the zoos on that big colony in the right corner

caja · 02-28-2004, 03:10 PM

last one. A tiny little frag with two baby blue mushrooms on the right of the rubble and three orange zoos that grew over onto the rubble while it was in the minibow.

I dig the pale blue zoos.

Fabulous photos caja!

caja · 02-28-2004, 08:24 PM

thanks craig.

couple more. briareum, this fell off the rock I was fragging so I just stuck it up on top of this rock. it should encrust pretty quickly.

caja · 02-28-2004, 08:26 PM

neon green ricordea yuma. one of my favorites.

caja · 02-28-2004, 08:29 PM

sorry these are blurry but these are bright yellow tiny zoos. each polyp is about 1/2 the size of a pencil eraser and smaller. I can't wait for these to start spreading up along that branch.

anyone want to hazzard a guess as to what this litle snail is? I've had him in the 7.5 for about6 months now. he's grown a bit, (about 1/3" now) hasn't bothered anything and his body has a cool checkerboard pattern to it that matches the shell, but black and white.

sorry he's blurry, I cropped way down and resized him up.

caja · 02-28-2004, 08:36 PM

Caja, check out this site. If you scroll down to the bottom, you will see a list of different families of snail shells to look at. See if maybe you can find something similar to search on:

Alboran Shells

mnreefman - I believe you are refering to the Heliacus sp. snail, which looks like this: Heliacus snail
