Can Someone tell me what these are called???

[Skwilliams7]

Hi there, not sure if Im posting in the right forum, or if these are actually zoas or not. If someone could let me know if they are/are not zoas, what kind they are and about how much they are worth? (Not lookin to sell, just wondering what exactly I have, just got into the saltwater game and I just cant find these anywhere) The picture is of the two different colonies I have, and then if anyone knows anything about those two shrooms (what they are called, etc) That would be nice too! The colonies are roughly 50 or so polyps.

Picture is blurry can you take a better picture? It's hard to tell.

My light is off right now, but I can try and take better pics in the morning. Basically, the bigger colony is numerous different colors, mainly purplish blue in the middle with tanish white tentacle things, and theres some others on that same frag(?) that are an orange/reddish in the middle with neon green tentacles. the other frag is all the same polyps, lime green tentacles with reddish, orange centers...if any of that makes any sense...sorry! lol And the shrooms are like 2 1/2 to 3 inches diameter and are violet/blueish. Thanks =)

The middle one with the dots is a Reverse Smurf Hat. They are new on the scene but very rare.

Right on, thanks for the replies!

Anyone know what the purple ones are called? There's like 7 or 8 of them- purple centers with creamy white tentacle things. Any ideas on those? I really appreciate the responses! =)

Oh, and by the way, I have someone interested in buying this piece off me for 50$. with all the different kinds (and some of them possibly being very rare) is that a good price if I was interested in selling? Don't think I want to sell it, but if I was going to, would 50 be reasonable? Thanks =)

I'm just pulling your leg. I'm not huge with names for zoos but I don't think any of those morphs are rare. The way they are mixed together is pretty cool. If it was me, I would sell them for $50, but I have access to zoos all day long. Basically its worth whatever you think it is. You could frag off some for yourself and sell the rest to your friend for $40.

Right on, Thanks. Im not too experienced with frags (like, literally..no experience) haha but Im not 100% I even want to sell them. Really like all the different colors. My favorite would probably be those Eagle Eyes anyway (which I know for a fact you could get just about anywhere) How would I frag those if I so chose to, though?

Try to break the substrate that the piece you want to remove it attached to and use a razor to cut the mat where the break is and the zoos are connected. Zoos are forgiving for fragging, just try not to crush them. Even if you mess up, you will pick it up quick. If you like the colony, you should keep it. It will only grow and increase in value.

Thanks for the info! Maybe Ill give it a try on some of my other pieces, think I'm going to take your advice and keep that colony. One more question though (Sorry if too many questions...but like I've said, I'm fairly new to the hobby and don't know much but the basics) Should these guys be spreading fast or..? I mean, they have spread since I got them...but not as much as I had expected by this time. They've been in about 6 months and the actual heads have grown some, and they have spread by about 20 or so...should they have spread more by now or is that about right?
