    A "green kind" ;) There is no sure fire way of telling you exactly what kind without a DNA test. Even the names like "midnight lights" or "eagle eye" that you see at dealers and vendors for zoas/palys are 100% made up and are not proper.
    Call it "Adrians Green Button" or something. Wouldn't be any more incorrect than anything else ;)

    "Adrian's Green Button" it is! Or maybe "Godzilla VS Tyrannosaurus Rex with an Eye Laser"

    I like the last one. Yeah...they are tough to ID. Most times it's a guess. I have seen superman zoas that are beautiful. I have also seen SM zoas that are not really all that nice to look at. Drab. Obviously not the same. But they are definitely zoas. G vs. TR Zoas.
