The hammer I got from t&t, its really big when fully opened.

Anyone know the name of these zoas?

I think this is called octospawn.

name unknown of these too

Blue zoas

These have a name also? There real neat

 

[flexrac]

very nice, your zoas are generic and do not have a name, not all zoas carry a name, personally i like nameless zoas, much cheaper than a single polyp for 20-50 bucks.
third image from top is a frogspawn in simple terms.

That's a awesome ZOA webside, After my 120 is running for a while I'm will spend some money there. Thanks "flexrac".

 

[turtlesoup2]

I love that hammer, if you ever decide to sell I want it!

 

[flexrac]

they don't have all those zoa's in stock.
you would have to search various websites and forums buy/sell section for great deals on nice zoa's.

I LOVE Zoas. We have a rather large colony just like in the second picture in our 150G display tank, they're my favorite at the moment (Until the "Ultras" open up anyway )

That's a real nice hammer, Wendy. I love 'em, congrats.

good luck,
Steve

How long do hammers usually take to get used to the tank and fully open up. still looks like it does in the pictures but isn't fully stretched out yet. Also my clown rubs on it every once in a while. Not often but he kind of glides over it and causes it to shrink up a little. Could this be bothering the hammer? I havnt had a hammer before so still learning

If the clown gets to rough it can hurt it, but otherwise no

Not to mention that the clown fish can also hurt itself by using it as a host.

I love clown fish by because of the hosting issue I will never have another one with lps corals.

 

[DHoward]

Yea... The coral stings the clown.

 

[CBBSteve]

My clown hangs out in my hammer all the time, neither seems to mind the other at all...

good luck,
Steve

Felix, I looked at the 5 pages of Zoas and palys and began to drool. Too many choices and colors. I could easily spend a grand on-line.

What is your experience with this online fish store? I am heading to Plano soon and may stop by and see their setup in person.

Thanks

 

[Diesel]

Reggie, let us know how the setup looks like in Plano. Me myself plan on ordering some ZOA's of them.

The clown fish is immune to the stings just like an anenome would do to it.

 

[wendy32693]

Ok, how long does it usually take for a hammer to fully open up, the hamme
r and frogspawn is still shrunk up

Hi, Wendy.
I'd give it at least a week, maybe two...
But I have to tell you, that picture looks like it's pretty happy...

good luck,
Steve

Will do for sure. Just using some comparative pricing they are a bit higher than others. If the quality and quantity are better then it may be worth the price.

 

[BigRick]

I think the hammer looks happy.
