We just added a very unique submission to the CoralPedia.com site. Although a bit late on our part, the submitter (spy_i) submitted these Zoanthids that were found in Dubai, UAE (United Arab Emirates)! Spy_i added in their notes that the salinity in Dubai is too high (in the upper 37 to lower 38 psu range) to form reefs and it came as quite a surprise to find Zoanthids there.
spy_i wrote: "I currently live in Dubai and [stumbled] upon this zoa on the famous Madinat Hotel (opposite Burj Al Arab Hotel). I was strolling along the hotel's man made creek when I saw like a beehive on the water dikes. [...] I personally collected this Zoa from the man made creek [...]. I never imagined that such life [would] have existed here in the waters of Dubai. I know that the level of salinity is too high that Dubai [doesn't] have any Reefs at all. I was looking around the macro's that [were] growing on the dike when I [noticed] a dark beehive like thing. All I thought was a dark chocolatey sponge. Surprisingly, upon closer inspection, the blue center on the zoo just pierce thru its brown skirts. To my excitement I [quickly] pulled a small colony that was growing on a clam... then I realize this zoo is everywhere with big colonies matting on the side of the man made dikes."
Thanks for the submission and special treat, spy_i!
You can see spy_i's "Green Eyed Arabs" here:
You can see where other corals have been reportedly collected by visiting our CoralPedia's Coral Origins page.
Enjoy,

This is a nice treat for Zoanthid aficionados. David Acevedo (Daceman) sent us these images that had all of us drooling! He wrote, "About 4 months ago I was bored so I decided to take 1 polyp of each Nuclear green and Purple death and cut them in half and glue both sides together leaving me with 2 polyps of purple/green polyps on a disc. One died and the other lived." Thanks to David for sharing these nifty shots with us and keep up the mad scientist experiments!
Check out rest of the pictures here.

Hello all,
We just realized that submissions were not being processed for about the last 2 months!! We apologize and will get working on them ASAP. It will take a little time to catch up, but we are on it. Luckily, no submissions were lost, they were just not being processed.
So - our apologies again, and please bare with us as we catch up on all 94 delayed submissions! 
For those interested, here are the geeky details: We recently migrated web hosts at CoralPedia.com to a faster network. In doing so, we had an IP address change. Our submission system is locked down to authenticate at the IP address level for security reasons (amongst other measures). I forgot to add the new IP address as an authorized IP address to process the tickets. So the submissions just sat there instead of going through our helpdesk system. Once the new IP was authorized, 94 submissions over the last couple of months came rolling in!
Thanks,
-Who Dah? |
