Unique Zoas

Hello all I thought I would just ask what are some zoas that have a price/trad value. I am looking for some stuff to get for my tank, something with lots of cool colors.
 
I like sour apple reds, purple hornets, flame throwers, red wines, fire and ice, armageddon, captain america(maybe, I still want to see this one in person), eagle eyes, ect. though not all of them are uncommon, therefore not all are super expensive. but they are unique in their coloring anyway IMO and so I value them.

I like people eaters, mostly for their history, been around a while, something I just dont think a collection is complete without. though hardly the most impressive looking after all this time.

only thing I can say is, zoas that are green or shades of brown, no matter how attractive they may be in a fancy macro shot or under actinic, will probably not be too eye catching in person. there are exeptions, but just be careful with them. everything looks great in a fancy macro shot.

reds, yellows, and blues are colors that stand out, greens, browns and sometimes purple tend to blend in. though Im a sucker for contrast, so the purple hornet is an exception here.

Ive gotten a number of zoas from places that dont deal in "named" zoas, they have their own names(which would be meaningless to you since they havent caught on, probably never will)
 
i'm new to the zoa game.
i've come across a few that i really like,
rastas, rose nebulas, mohawks, dragon eyes, lunar eclipse, green bay packers.
red wines i gave a buddy look amazing (in his tank, not so great in mine)
 
hit up jimmy,
they look loads better in his tank and they're growing a lot faster over there. i've also got some things coming tomorrow.

check out the LFS also. i've found some sweet frags for $10. they don't have names but are some of the nicest colored zoas i have.

I think the yellow ones are just a yellow skirt variety of an eagle eye?

Haahaa, I frag but not those yet. Once they cover the plug I'll take ~3 polyps off a start a new plug.

I don't think there are too many actual unique zoo's out there. Everything has a morph or a look-a-like. Unique would be genetic abnormalities that cause a triple skirt or multiple mouths, etc.

I don't consider my collection unique. Someone out there has something very similar.
