My Zoa Collection

[Clayalaleona]

How about a FTS?

When the tank actually looks nice I'll post one right now what I have is A LOT of frags growing out + a frag rack in the middle of the whole thing. I'm gonna be putting up a frag tank next to it as well so I can just have the cool stuff in the tank and the stuff for trades in the frag tank. Hopefully it clears out some clutter as the frag tank I had for a while was just a mess. This one will be plumbed in

FTS... excuse the turkey baster lol... hopefully in the next 6 months this tank will look crazy good

I ended up trading a bunch of stuff to the LFS for something and it freed a lot of space

(as most every thing one wants to get pictures of the clowns have decided to make THEE most awkward spot in the tank their home )

By the way I just wanted to point out that this is the easiest pairing I have EVER made. They locked jaws 2-3 times in the holding tank when placed together and then they set their hierarchy VERY quickly. They are now together all the time with no fights at all in my tank. The picasso is clearly the more dominant fish but doesn't bully the other one into submission. They just go along very well. The baby picasso I used to have I tried to pair with 5-6 other picassos and it always ended up with him being picked on and still being really aggressive so when I got these guys I assumed that since they're different types of clowns I should be prepared for giant battles(even had the breeding net next to the tank for a while). I am super happy to say that these two go together like PB & J and if they spawn I'll get the babies reared by one of my local clown guys for good measure. Its like their bonding was a freaking miracle lol

 

[Clayalaleona]

Thanks for the compliments guys <3 I really appreciate it, it really makes me want to post more
I'm using a Canon T3i with the 18-55 lens, IMO the secret is to get a set of lens extension tubes to get macros(obviously its not the same as a $600 lens but if one wants to save that money for corals it works pretty well)

 

[Clayalaleona]

These finally opened up how I wanted them to, I have two different types... ones with orange skirts and ones with neon green/ yellowish skirts

HORRIBLE picture of the other morph

Been calling them Lime hornets but when someone pulls an actual name I'll refer to them by their proper name. I really like them though

Oh look, Krakospheres lol

Finally got a better picture

FINALLY starting to look like rainbow infusions again

Pink Krak colony that is growing out

The not tarantulas, Spider webs? To go with the Halloween vibe
