    I personally HATE buying stuff on ebay.......especially corals as I am cheap and hate paying for shipping. However one of the LFS does ebay auctions and you dont have to pay shipping if you pick up. I have a new zoa tank set up and have been looking for some different zoas.

    I won yellow jacket deepwater zoas and tubbs blues

    YellowJacket zoas (DeepWater) 5+

    this isnt the seller but a good picture of what they look like.

    You dont see many bright yellow zoanthids and i am excited. I was outbid in the last seconds on deepwater emeralds on fire zoa....:angry: by 4.00 but excited about these.

    picked them up yesterday along with some chalices, reverse war coral for our other tank and some other zoas for this one.......extreme super nova, and some bright red and yellow zoas. They are all dipped and set up in the tank. Will snap some pics tomorrow when things are settled down a bit. I aggrevated them just now cutting off the frag plugs with our band saw

    unfortunately the yellow jackets are more green under my light.......going to be adding a uv led light so that might help

    Nice corals! Be sure you get 420nm violet, UV will harm your corals.

    actually what i was thinking was the 403nm exotic stunner just as a supplementation.

    Right now we have them under just 2 t5ho bulbs......a white and an actinic. Thinking about going to 2 white and adding some LED strips...1 of the 403 and one actinic

    Ecoxotic 12.5 Inch Stunner 6 watt LED Strip

    it seems to work great in my sps tank just to pop the color
