Zoa ID please

[rworegon]

I picked these up a couple of days ago. I really likes this small piece of Branched Tonga rock in a small display tank at LFS. They had just sort of tossed in in the tank with some peppermint shrimp and hermit crabs. I noticed it was covered with what looked like closed up Zoa's. I asked if they knew what they were and they said, "no, haven't ever seen them open up." So I got it cheap. Took it home, gave is a good iodine dip and placed it in some good flow and this is what opened. :thumbsup:
Anyway, can anyone ID these for me please?

I can confirm they are zoas.

No clue but they look very cool. Nice Find!!

 

[leveldrummer]

all the names are made up anyway, just be happy with your pretty zoas and quit feeding the "silly name" monster...

Just make one up. Ive done it for several nice zoas that I have. That way when I need to frag, people will think it's some LE zoas hahaa

Couldn't tell you what they are but I can tell you I want to find me some! Those are awesome colors!

Thats ok. The rock alone was worth what I paid for it. I do like the color though. You can't see it in the pic but the rock branches out in four different directions from a central stalk. I stuck it into the sand bed. Not I have a Fire and Ice zoa tree.

Those are beautiful! I'd love a frag once you decide to frag some off.

Those are quite a bit nicer than Fire and Ice. Good find.

Agreed. Fire and ice dont exhibit that kind of blue color.

I found this on zoaid. Orange Delights. Although I think your pic is much better... I like the blue.

no they are pumpkin patch zoas. There is a guy on ebay who sells them. the name is probably bogus but w/e. =] they are beautiful though! I think I have some that are similar

I fed mine phyto and reef snow, and they started to develop a bright orange center it's awesome
