 Topic: Please help me to ID this
Posted: May 21 2014 at 2:03pm |
Hi all,
Please help me to ID this guy. Bought this from one of Utahreefs member here. But he doesn't know what is the name either. I love this zoa, but it would be nicer if I know its' name. Your help is highly appreciated

Not sure but if that's what gorilla nipples look like, they have rather nice nipples. Lol

Just the same as we name our children, the names for Zoanthid and Palythoa color morphs are simply arbitrary.

I don't know what it is other than a zoa\paly. If you ever frag it I want to be first in line assuming I can afford it.

Hi Reefer4Ever,
One day I will learn how to frag them properly, I have killed many other zoas while I attempted to do so. But FYI....the last zoa was so pretty under LED Blue, the color just popped out so amazing. That is why I really want to know the name of this beauty (IMO)  |

I completely concur with you as that color in the photo is amazing. I have enough blues and greens now I want reds and oranges of various corals. It needs a wee bit of balance.
