are they rare at all? my LFS gave me 10 for 15dollars, was that a good/bad deal?

If you are referring to the pink ones, they are not rare, I have seen them quite a few times. 10 for $15 is a pretty good deal however.

Any chance you can get a closer pic?

They aren't very rare, I have some in my tank. 10 polyps for $15 isn't bad though. They seem to grow relatively quick compared to some of the other zoas

I have those zoa's - my lfs has them quite regularly. They usually sell it as a 'premium frag' which means 6-10 polyps for $20. I'd say you got a decent deal.

what lfs did you go to?

the design doesnt look like either of those, arent i in the ID forum?

I'm on the East side of Cleveland but I'm always looking for places with good prices on corals

 

[romsoccer12]

dont go to 2turtles, they overprice 99% of everything, but every once in a while youll get a person who doesnt know anything about salt water aquariums and youll find a nice frag without a pricetag and theyll just make one up but thats once in a blue moon.

 

[jflick345]

I really haven't heard many good things about that place in general. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[scuba guy ron]

could very possibly be a color morph of one of the 2 I posted above. It has been noted that zoas will change color/pattern under different lighting conditions.

yea now that i look at mine again, they represent it a lot except they are all pink, thx for the help
