New Zoa Colony! Need Identity :confused:

[btmedic04]

Hello everyone. I just picked up my 2nd zoa colony tonight! sadly my first frag was flipped off the rock and landed upside down on the sand by my emerald crab while i was at work and it never recovered Anyway, I would like to know what kind they are. Also I have them towards the bottom of the tank for now to acclimate (running a 2 bulb 24" T5HO over my 20H)

params

1.026sg
nitrates ~10 ppm
ph 8.2
cal ??
alk ??
mag ??

I use red sea coral pro salt and run a 12 hour lighting cycle. Any advice so I have better luck this time? Thanks!

There is zoa id sub-forum:

As to what they're called I see some eagle eyes and radioactive dragon eyes.

The reddish ones are eagle eyes the greenish ones are radioactive dragon eyes. As stated for future reference there is a sub forum for id's and I'd suggest testing for alk calcium and magnesium as they're pretty important.

Actually the ones I said were eagle eyes are watermelons, I just realised the skirt was green.
