[Mr. E Wrasse]

I know, I know, this thread is no good without pictures. I will have pictures tomorrow using my go pro. I was speechless! I dive all the time and everywhere too, even australia. I found 2 definite different types and not sure if the third is a morph of one or not but man am I excited to harvest some of these bad boys. I founf multiple, multiple colonies of the first type. They are just like green PEs but BETTER. They have a lime green skirt and lime green to a darker green center and little dark dark green lines randomly around. The other is a royal blue with lime green mouths and the last is the same as the second but bright yellow mouths.

Its not a protected area and I found these at the opening of a canal for boats in like a foot of water lol

How do you get your go pro to take good pics mine sucks !

It usually takes crappy pics in the deep water when im diving, always get blued out, they really need a flash. Im hoping since they are so extremely shallow that it will be enough light

Haha I thought about offering up some to some local florida people.but my tank isnt big and packed as it is so it would be hard unless people met me that day

I think maybe send them to me for proper identification.

If only you lived closer! Funny thing is as soon as I saw them, I though of you and how cool it is to go out and collect your own zoas

Lol the best part is I dont have to do any breaking or cutting. There are so many rocks with them I can just pick and choose from rocks half dollar size to ones 2 ft across c ompletely covered, which would obviously be way too big haha

 

[calvo15290]
