Best Placement for Zoanthids

[John]

Sorry, I'm not doing the alphabet thing, maybe a moderator will set up a locked thread and sort these as we add them.


Radioactive Dragon Eyes;
(Other Names: None but there are a few corals I suspect are morphs of this.)



Lighting: 150Watt HQI MH on a 24" deep tank

Placement; best growth was achieved 16" from water surface, moderate flow...

Additional comments; Decent grower once it settles in.

Kryptonites;
(Other Names: Jade Rings, Mean Green, Neon Greens)



Lighting: 150Watt HQI MH on a 24" deep tank

Placement; best growth was achieved 20" from water surface, moderate to high flow..

Additional comments; Fast grower

Should have added this yesterday, but forgot I even had the picture. Kryptonites will morph under very intense lighting to this;

Sweet thread!!! I am sure I will jump in on one when a letter that works for me pops up!

Here's a "C"

Captain America



Current lighting: t5 6 bulb TEK fixture on a 24" deep tank

Placement; Great size, color and duratibility on the substrate, but no growth achieved yet.

Additional comments; for a protopalythoa which is supposed to be a fairly fast grower, I have to report extremely poor luck with this one. Started with one polyp almost a year ago and still at one polyp.

We already have a "D" with Deadpools, but couldn't resist throwing out another one as well.

Darth Maul


Current lighting: t5 6 bulb TEK fixture on a 24" deep tank

Placement; Great size, color and growth about mid level 12 to 14" of depth.

Additional comments; Was getting great color and growth out of this one, but unfortunately had a dKH swing and it vanished like smoke on the wind. Everything I've read says these are extremely prone to melting

Id be curious to see comparisions of the frags you guys have shown in different placements. For example if the armor of gods are in the sand bed, what would it look like if you had a extra frag and were able to put it up high.

I have some pink and golds and under low light are not very nice, but under high light look amazing. I have a 6 bulb t5 fixture and my tank is 12" deep.

I did one like that.

Mark, the AoG post actually shows polyps grown at two different depths; the left hand picture is on the sandbed, and the right hand picture is a polyp that sits about 6" below the surface. I also posted up the picture of what happens to Kryptonite under very high lighting.

Like you I also have the Pink and Golds, unfortunatly mine all have the lost the nice "pink" and have more the fairy dust appearance. I was told this was due to tank chemistry rather than lighting. Any thoughts/experience on that one?
