Updates and/or new availability to existing products:

Belladonna

Belladonna:  the meaning of the word is ‘Beautiful Woman’. This is certainly a Beautiful Zoa!

Other common names include Belladonna, Belladonnas, Belladonna Zoa, Belladonna Zoanthid, Belladonna Paly, Belladonna Palys (although it is believed to be a Zoanthid).

Pastel Rainbow

Pastel Rainbow: They’re back! Sometimes the name just fits. This is not one of those times. Er wait. This is EXACTLY one of those times! This Paly can morph depending on tank parameters. Included are photos from different tanks.

Other common names include Pastel Rainbow, Pastel Rainbows, Pastel Rainbow Zoa, Pastel Rainbow Zoanthid, Pastel Rainbow Paly, Pastel Rainbow Palys (although it is believed to be a Paly).

Magician

Magician: Illusion, smoke and mirrors… The ever-popular Magicians!

Australian Blue Ensign

Australian Blue Ensign: The Australian flag went through a lot of revisions before the Australian Blue Ensign was finalized. I’d like to think that this would be the national Australian Zoanthid upon first consideration. You can almost see the 6 stars in this frag shot! Very beautiful morph. Note: I used to consider this a small Zoanthid morph. But they’ve been getting larger having been in captivity longer. I now consider them a typical sized to slightly smaller than typical sized Zoa morph. (No longer to I consider them ‘small’.)

Other common names include Australian Blue Ensign, Australian Blue Ensigns, Australian Blue Ensign Zoa, Australian Blue Ensign Zoanthid, Australian Blue Ensign Paly, Australian Blue Ensign Palys (although it is believed to be a Zoanthid).

Drop us a line and get yours today!

About a month ago, I was accused of holding back my Zoanthid collection from the site. Ugh! The nerve!!! OK – so maybe they were right.

I’ve spent the last month doing some exciting things, including acquiring some new morphs that I’ve never SEEN before that are simply incredible. We’ve got some of our new farmer pieces up as well. I’ve been shooting photos, reshooting photos, and then reshooting again. Fragging, gluing, and inventorying. (Even then, not all items have photos yet!) I’ve been verbiaging (that a word?) and describing each morph for you as well. I even coded a new, albeit simpler, coral page to showcase larger thumbnails and more morphs on one page. In the end, what did we come up with? A HUGE Zoanthid update! There’s new ones, classic ones (some I’ve had for years and never put on the site!), expensive ones, affordable ones, red ones, blue ones, morphs you probably haven’t seen before, and everything in between. All in all, as of this writing, we are presenting to you over ONE HUNDRED unique morphs in stock!

We suspect many morphs will sell out quick and that number will start dropping as supply cannot keep up with demand. (If only we could grow these faster!) So swing on by and check it out! You can now see our new farmer pieces and the entire Who Dah? collection available at ExoticFrags! (Well… MOST of it, anyways… )

ExoticFrags.us Zoanthids

DML08′s tank is a T5 lit tank. We are still attempting to reproduce the coloration he is able to achieve with our Halide lit tank. But the piece is so incredible in his tank that we thought it would warrant grabbing your attention!

Check out the Mille Madness page for more details and frag availability.

When you visit our site, we should now be detecting if you are on a mobile device. (iPhone, Pre, Blackberry, Treo, Moto, Nokia, whatever!) You will be offered a link to our mobile site at the very top of the page. Or, you can visit the more streamlined and mobile version of our site on any device (phone, laptop, whatever) by following this link: www.exoticfrags.us/m

I’m still working out a couple of bugs, but please feel free to check it out and give us some feedback. We’d love to here what works, what doesn’t, what you like, and what you don’t like.

Enjoy the eye candy, and enjoy ExoticFrags mobile!

We are often asked what we feed our tanks. Our fish we typically feed PE Mysis or H2O Life Mysis when we need a smaller version.  Arcti-Pods are also on our fish feeding list. We’ll use specialty foods when necessary to wing a finicky fish onto our standard foods. And of course we’ll put in strips of algae for our herbivores.

But of course when asked this question, the inquirer is more so interested in what we feed our corals. And the answer to that is: we love the Reef Nutrition lineup! More information on their foods can be seen here:

Our favorites (in no particular order) are Arcti-Pods, Phyto Feast, Roti Feast, and Oyster Feast.

We tyipcally global feed the tanks. Lately, Hector has been feeding all of these each day. Jeremy tends to cycle through one food a day on a continual rotating basis.

Featured Corals

We’ve got some nice Wildfire Monti’s from wishntoboutside. These are very bright in the tank!

We have some Pink Lemonade available again, woohoo!

As well as some nifty Jesus Echinata:

BA-CFM

We just got back from BA-CFM. Although we didn’t do many coral pickups, it was nice to visit with many of our friends. We did pickup a Monster sized Purple Monster frag from bent. Feel free to inquire if interested.

-Jeremy (Who Dah?)

I’ll keep it short – here are a few shots of some new items.

Would you like any of these? Visit our homepage and click ‘Contact Us’ on the left!

Talk to you soon,

-Jeremy (Who Dah?)

We will resume shipments on the week of January 5th after the seasonal rush. If you would like anything, feel free to drop us a line and we can reserve it for you until that time.

Thanks, we’ll see you in 2009!
