Unusual zoa - any idea as to ID

Really odd looking zoa, kinda on the smallish side, maybe even a micro-zoa if such a thing exist. They area about 1/8 ot 1/4" in size.
The photo is pretty accurate as to color, whats weird is that the mouth in real life actually looks like it's out of focus with a 3 dimensional depth with almost a matt looking appearance and a purple ring. You can see that the skirts are totally in focus, but the mouths have this odd look..... The rock they are on is only .5" x 1" so you can see what I mean about the size.....I have yet to see any other zoas like this, anyone else have this or seen one.

I think there is no way to tell in a photo, you should probably send me a frag of that:lol:
Just kidding, they are really beautiful. Did you get them at a LFS, or somewhere online?

I went on this buying spree and have no idea where they came from, I'm trying to build up my collection to several hundred color morphs, don't care if they are pretty, just want as many morphs as possible. They seem to be reproducing pretty fast, I've gotten 9 new polyps over the last few weeks. When these arrived I think it had 3-4 polyps...
 
Both pictures are great. The second picture is so true, I could reach out and touch it. Has to be one of the best macro pics I have ever seen, wow.

Both are common and very sweet indeed. The green one has the potential to grow very fast, I know it did for me.

It would be a treat to all of us if you would add it to the photo thread.

Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks Mucho, yes the second pic is one of my best macros, not even photoshopped, all I did was crop and resize...:D
