reefgeek84 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 it is a little difficult in identifying Zoanthids from Palythoas, Parazoanthus..etc. etc. Do you have any websites that would be helpful, with pictures, and clear-cut Genus species identification? Help me out here...thanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Zoaid.com. Lots of Zoos on nano-reef.com. RC also has a forum specifically dedicated to zoas. www.zoaid.com www.nano-reef.com http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=184 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitterbait Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I just look at the root structure primarily... Paly's usually have a very thin loose root growth between the base of each polyp whereas zoos form a mat as they go and get thicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 True, but that can change by simply adding more flow or changing light. A lot of my zoos grow like palys although they are clearly not palys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefgeek84 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 I did some looking...I got it figured out...I was right in my thinking, just wanted to make sure...my seahorse tank is going to have some zoas...since lighting on it is not alot.
