Zoa Id

I got some Zoa and some sponge like thing. Anybody know the name or species or something.

Thanks

 

Yup;D

 

Well I don't know about the Zoa but But well, No I don't know about the sponge thing either but they do appear to be blue, See that's why I said Yup I do know something ;D

 

Yup it some zoa and a sponge. Try shooting under full lighting so that we can tell the colour

J

 

That was full lighting, I turned of my actinics and blue+ to only have the blue+ and midday. Here are some more pics (zoos closed up a bit)

 

They still look very blue!!!

 

I hate to say it but the sponge doesn't look so good.

Do you have a white balance on the camera. you could try a custom white balance and take some more.

the Zao are Zao but there are many different common names for them based on colour. Try this Web site for an ID

 

I agree it appears to be getting some algae growth on it

 

I got the zoos and the sponge while snorkeling in a unprotected part of Fl.I know you can take zoos and some types of sponges but not all. The sponge does look like it has algae on it. The sponge is very blue.Ill try and take more pics tommorow.

Thanks
