They block out the blue light so that your iPhone can focus on the coral.

Almost a month has gone by, and its still colorinh up. I had an alk and cal swing not to long ago and it was closed up for a few days. For the past week its been doing really good after i adjusted my alk and cal dosage.

Here it is today.





Even tho the color hasnt fully emerged, its growing!!! Looks like its gunna pop babies soon. Its definitely has encrusted more.



Sorry for crappy phone pics.

Can anybody recommend a decent camera to take pics of corals with??? Something that doesnt cost an arm and a leg.

If you have an iPhone 4/4s I have an olloclip for you. Only catch is you have to get the zoa really close to the glass to get macro shots. LMK if you are interested.

Lol, ever since i switched tanks from a 12g to 22g, i lost a few zoas and some of my sps lost a bit of color. Im thinking cuhz of the par difference since my lights are much higher than before, those zoas closed and never opened. Its a bummer, but its happens. Time to look for another newly discovered zoa at work... LOL!

I've had zoanthids survive on rock with a 4 hour car drive out of water and used all of that rock to aquascape a 50gal. It's been 2 months and has had about 10 polyps grow.

Pretty hardy species. These specific ones were not even in the light and actually extended their polyps so they can take in light.

In my 20gal I have several species of zoanthids in complete shading and only receive a small shimmer for few hours a day. These are also growing. Zoanthids pretty straight forward haha.
