    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to compile a list for inventory for my tank, and could not find names for these zoas.

    I looked on zoaid, but found nothing. Let me know if you can identify any of these zoa's please.

    #1 - Dark skirt, dark blue center, and light blue eye
    #2 - Pale Green/Blue skirt, center and eye
    #3 - Tan skirt, pink center, silver eye
    #4 - Pink skirt, grey center, pink eye
    #5 - Orange skirt, greyish center with purple hues, white eye

    Thanks in advance,

    Robert

    The zoas are whatever you want to brand them. Or whoever you bought them from branded them. They're all the same species.

    That is very true. I just wanted to make sure that these specific color morphs were not already names...in the case that I give them some names. I don't want to have conflicting names for the same polyp.

    thats what I would label them as. The naming is just a gimmick.

    besides zoas can change colors based on the environment it's in.

    Did not know that second part, but I would definitely not call them brown...they have excellent color. ::)
