Zoa ID Help!

[jtinoco]

Does anyone know what kind of zoas these are? They started growing on their own on one of the rocks next to some green zoas. I isolated them on a small piece of rock. There's three polyps I found and now I found another two on anther rock. They're still pretty small tho.

The skirts are bright orange. The oral disc is grayish near the skirt but turns purplish near the mouth. The mouth is yellow.

These are the best pics I could get.

Don't know the name either but the orange color stands out nice I had some on my old tank where the sand I gave you came from unfortunately after my accident I didn't take care of it 100% algea took over them

Those look like Rastas I think. Or they could be red hornets. Either way, both are highly sought after. Nice pick up especially when they are hitch hikers! Steff or Erik might know what they are. They are the zoa zen masters!

I believe those ones are called Sunset Zoanthids! But there is several kinds of them though. I could not get a descent pic though. lol

Those rastas are nice, about how much do they run for

 

[ahlebik]

Yeah I was just showing the picture off... I like em.

Rastas run about 20-30 a polyp and are extremely hard to frag because of there size. Also they are a very slow grower. Before the market crashed on them they where in the upwards of 60 a polyp or more. Thanks

Is there a zoa id website? Or for any corals? Some of us haven't been pricing coals for years and know them all by sight.

Zoanthids are even tougher for me... so many different mutations...

Steff, don't push it until you get another infraction. I can't believe how you got this one.

 

[puffin04]

LOL that video was pretty funny! Where do you find stuff like that Erik? I can safely say i am a OUTCAST lol and do not Dip. But if you would have called me a Long horn i might have been pretty butt hurt.

John the reason why is because i am a dick and not a very nice person.
