Help with coral ids from the WCR 2014 swap

[zeroinverse]

A few corals containers only had coral names and I am curious to know more about them. And to see what they will grow into...

Rainbow pocci (?)
Purple acro (maybe Bob?)
Red Mushroom with green rim

-----
On a side note: Daniel, the space monsters look similar to pink galaxy Zoas. I like them either way as I am not sure my original space monsters made it in tank move (a few frags still not open zoa heads yet).

Purple acro I'm sure is bob's

 

[K3nnyG]

Poci is from forrest whom got it from me. It is super hardy howwver it is super fragile. Meaning if you look at it wrong it will break. It likes medium to high light with medium flow. It is really easy to tell if it is happy or not if yhe polyps are out or not.

 

[WalrusKisses]

Yeah, the poccilopora is awesome, and it also sounds like you got one of my mushrooms too. The shroom is a deep red with a light blue rim, good grower, it tends to take off pretty quickly when it's happy.

It's a really unique morph that I haven't seen elsewhere. I'm glad someone was interested in it.

They may just be I bought them from Tom as spacemonsters a while ago so.... It seems in lower light the green rim is more prevalent in higher light and the green mellows out to a yellowish in lower light.. Idk I'm not too good with zoas lol I just call them what they were given to me as.. Maybe the zoa experts can chime in... Or maybe one just did =).

I got a nice piece of the purple acro too. I'm really interested to see how it matures.

I am no zoa expert. Colin is my go-to expert. I can ask him next time so we know. I do remember having both space monsters and pink galaxy. The only thing I remember was the pink galaxy had more pink face coloration than the space monster.

Either way, they are similar morphs.

There is a cool website that puts names with pictures of almost all zoas. Www.coralpedia.com

Cool let me know what he says cause I have prob about 50p lol. I put most in a spot that's gonna be unfraggable though. I'm keeping the second mini colony free so I frag can bring to the events.

Yeah, that is cool site. Often corals color up differently and/or are bleached or not yet at their optimal coloration.

Ok will do.

I recall the pink galaxies grow faster than the space monsters (my observation when I had both).

Sorry to say bu if you bought them from Tom they were actually pink galaxy/rose nebulas. I bought a frag from him too. If you have any your insure on post a pic and I'd love to help you on ID's.

 

[Dapg8gt]

I'm sure your right. I have a hard time telling the variations so I will take your words for it.

Hope everyone in the club who got them from the swap is reading this and doesn't mind the "spacemonster imposter of 2014" totally my fault I should have researched it but oh well at least they are colorful lol thanks again for the ID.. I see the difference of color in the mouth and the skirt now that I Google it. Close but no cigar.

These are them

 

[ReeferItIs2]

I have no problem with them being pink galaxy's and not space monsters...they're still a very nice zoa

 

[cbrennan4]

Pretty sure that is the pink galaxy

 

[gonzalez78]

Man those are cool I wish I would have gotten some

 

[Ssteve]

I agree. Very cool IMO and I'm not even a Zoa guy at all.
