๐Ÿ Ended๐ŸŽ GiveawayWinners choice of CC Banana Hammock or Stratosphere Zoasยทhosted by @Ndrwater

First 50 "Cool Kids"

Guess what "Cool Kids", even though we already announced we are giving away some coral or Zoas when we hit 100 new members, we decided to do it for the first 50 too!!! So for the first 50 "Cool Kids" we have a choice of either CC Banana Hammock, OR some Stratosphere Zoas!! [2 plus baby] This will be a winners choice of one or the other.. Pick-up (preferred) or shipping (not as preferred but arrangable) shortly after this round ends . When is that you ask? THIS MONDAY 8/31/26 we will be drawing one winner. Is there a catch, sort of .. You need to post in the comments of this giveaway which of either the SPS or Zoas you would choose and why.. Pretty simple if you ask me... So... This is just our way of saying "Thanks for joining us". And you will get the privilege of be the 1st giveaway winner on WCR!! You KNOW you'll want to say "I was there when..." " So get to posting!! Only a few days left to get your post in for entry!!! Good luck!!! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Iโ€™m after the CC Banana Hammock because of its crazy color, awesome texture, and instant tank pop. Itโ€™s one of those pieces that just makes you smile every time you walk by. It will stand out next to my greens and reds. Simple as that.

    this is tough. I'd be happy with either, but I would probably go with the stratospheres. cool colors and big polyps and i have a good spot for more zoas. the banana hammock is awesome too.

    I think Iโ€™d go for the Banana Hammock. Already have a nice little colony of strats I am afraid to fragโ€ฆโ€ฆ

    My strats melted during my latest battle with high phosphates... so, I wouldn't mind getting them again but the Banana Hammock does look nice!

    Maybe thatโ€™s why ours exploded with growthโ€ฆ.we are lucky to have .03 phosphates. Most of the time it is undetectable so we had to start dosing.

    Curious - what are you doing to maintain low PO4? Also, thought that zoas like โ€œdirtierโ€ water?

    I donโ€™t have any idea lol. I feed heavy pellets, tangs get nori everyday, and feed frozen every day as well. I just think all the corals are consuming whatever there is, so it doesnโ€™t accumulate and raise the numbers.

    Iโ€™m leaning towards the strats because Iโ€™m still getting into corals and I donโ€™t want to kill anything. But I also want to try my hand at sps so itโ€™s a hard choice.
