Green with a yellow ring

... you just gave the ID. That's what they are.

 

[Bjontz7]

...Thanks for the help

I'm sure they call them "green with yellow ring". If you dont know what they are no need to comment. I barely use this forum because of thoughtless pricks typing their 2 cents when no one cares.

Well I'd hate to run you off the forum with all 4 of your posts, two of which are you being angry at me. Angry, by the way, for trying to tell you that asking for zoanthid "ID" is patently absurd. All of the silly names you have read about or seen in stores are simply MARKETING TRICKS to get you to want one patch of coral over another. Protip: scientists don't use colors, fruits or batman sound effects when they name something.

I visited the "greenhouse" of the guy that started this zoanthid naming trend many years ago. He was all "I'm going to call these WHIRLY BLACKBERRY GUMBOS and people will break down my door to buy them!" He was right, for all the wrong reasons. If you insist on knowing what some rando reefer decided to call a particular morph of a coral, good on you. But if you're going to get all bent when people refuse to participate you're going to have a tough go of it. And multiply that by 1000 because this is the internet.

Good luck with your LEMON-LIME NOMNOMs. TM me. If you sell them, you have to send me royalties now.

Really ? Yes there are people who are truly a holes. Sorry Bjontz7, everyone in this forum aren't like them. Don't get discouraged by a couple bad apples. Beautiful Zoa's though ! I don't know the name.

 

[Python73]

I don't know the name.

Sure you do...

 

[Reefpuck]

Nothing wrong with a little humor.

 

[Reefpuck]

But to the OP... when I buy something without a "non-scientific" name attached to it...i just Google search exactly how you described it... and see what people title them. Nothing wrong with asking this forum... I've helped people before...but just giving you another option.

 

[Reefpuck]

Google "Chernobyl Zoanthids"

 

[sde1500]

Sure you do...

Clearly you don't care for zoa names, so why bother going in ID threads just to be a troll?


Looks maybe like a Lemon Lime. Though OP, there can be a million names for the same zoa. Certain morphs are super recognizable and the names stick, others just seem to have a different name depending on the vendor.

I feel I added value up there, but apparently not enough to avoid being badged "a hole" and "troll." The entire point of sites like this is to spread information among hobbiests, and I think we'd all prefer that information was correct. Regardless, I'll adjust my posting accordingly.

He asks for an ID, where you clearly know what he means wanting to know the trade name. You make a post actually saying you refuse to participate, I assume in the name game. So how does that make you anything but a troll? The question wasn't "What do you think of naming corals".

I think the real question he wants to know is how much he can sell them for per polyp
