Usually when they look like that they are usually bleached out. Multiple things can cause this, lighting, water, ect. More than likely color up when they get settled in. ------------- It's Not a Hobby It's an Obsession 150&210 Gallons of Madness and.

+1 to that. The only pure white zoanthus corals I know of grow on Spider Sponges, which are very uncommon, and hard to keep. ------------- Steve http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40637&PID=356246" rel="nofollow - My Old 180G Mixed Reef Currently: 120G Wavefront Mixed 29G Seahorse & Softies Running ReefAngel Plus x2 435-8 |

Interesting! I am surprised they didn't tell you that it was most likely bleached out. It will be cool to see what color it ends up being. ------------- The only clowns I like are in my tank! |

They can take a long time to get color back too. I bleached my captain americas out when I sold off my sixty cube and they are still white to this day and it has been several months. ------------- Jackie Stuver "wait these aren't the happy Hawaiians oompa doompa godly heaven on your face zoas?

You are fortunate it was something good. When I was new in this hobby I saw a shrimp poking it's eye stalks out of a small rock at the LFS. I asked the clerk how much? $1 was the answer, so how could I resist taking home this "jewel" which, unfortunately, ended up being a real nuisance. What was it? A Mantis Shrimp.  Ever since then, I have made sure I know more than the LFS by asking lots of questions and verifying the answers here before making a purchase.  ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Why does everyone hate Mantis Shrimps so bad. I actually really like them and would like to own one. Even if I have to set up a system for one. The peacock mantis is awesome. ------------- Molon Labe Si vis pacem, para bellum |
