Long Frills on Zoanthids?

[Folta]

Some of my zoo colonies have been growing the 'frills' - the outside ring - quite extensively. One colony looks almost like my yellow polyps they are so long! (I can take pictures in a bit to show what I mean).

 

Is this normal? Should I be concerned that something is wrong in my tank? The past few months my sps has been growing much better, the sand is finally white on its own, etc... so my current guess was that the water is just cleaner now, so its growing longer frills to catch more 'stuff' to feed on.

 

Anyone else have this happening?

I have some orange zoos from Dr Macs I got during MACNA and are doing the same thing. Seem to be doing better like this than before when they were shorter. This pic was taken about a month ago and they are a bit longer.

i had "singed" mine off a while back and they were all but gone, and now they have grown back longer than they were. i was kinda thinking the same thing...

Stop feeding them "Rogain"

Haha yeah, guess I'll have to stop adding that supplement. But I thought monoxodil helped corals grow! =p

Chris those are definitely faulty orange Zoas - Might need to bring them over to my tank for a while until they grow over onto my rockwork- I am sure by then they will be healty again so that I can give you back the mother colony. :D
