11 gallon rimless Zoa Garden build, Give me your Fav's

Man, I was out of the hobby for 7 to 8 years and I can't even keep up with all these awesome zoas and their names. However, a few of my favorites are:
Rastas
Fruit Loops
Eagle Eyes
and some of the ones above that I'm just seeing for the first time like Flaming Suns and LA Lakers. I'm more about just color over speckles and weird morphs. I went from wanting to go heavy SPS with my new system to heavy zoas and acans and light on SPS and this thread is just adding to it.

On a side note, when I search a lot of these in google image it seems like there's a lot of variation. Kinda seems like there's a lot of misidentification going on out there or something. Just my rookie observation.

They are only cartoon names, chad p!
There is no misidentification because there is no identification in the first place, but cartoon names. Well, depends on what they call identification nowadays too.
The morphs are there and they are just one more type of zoa in the market.
Cartoon names normally brings you to believe in a special morph and it is normally connected to how much you will pay for it. Not like the old days!
Today you pay by the polyp!! Kinda sad!
But yes, some of the species found in the market are great and have wonderful color patterns!! So beautiful!

Gotcha. Thanks Grandis. Kind of reminds me of marijuana strains. They all seem to have fancy names now a days just to hype them up and make them the next must have thing...or so I hear.

Definitely makes it kind of sketchy. I'd love to get ahold of some fruit loops, but then if I buy some online I have to wonder if what shows up will be my idea of fruit loops. I guess when it comes to zoas WYSIWYG is the only way to go. Although I guess that's true for all corals.

Bam bams and armor of God are great contrast to any tank
