Beautiful zoa - what to call it?

D3DPrintedThingz · Jan 2, 2023

Hobbyists are the best in the world just picked this guy up locally any idea what I can call it?

I know, another zoa ID thread, but rest assured this is only for my pure entertainment of knowing each zoa in the garden, if/when I ever sell them it will be at or below the price I purchased it. Thank you for your help in ID

this thing is 1000000069 times brighter than any other zoa I own

I have a few of these in my tank, but I forget the name (sorry). A few possibilities:

• Everlasting Gobstopper, Petroglyph, Pink Zipper, Ultra Cat's Eye

I believe they are the pink zippers!! Yay!! Another dude on FB tried sellin me some of these for $60 , almost pulled the trigger now super glad I didn’t. Also got a sweet Area 51 frag and my ALL TIME FAVORITE EVER zoa that I missed my chance on at LFS and haven’t seen one since in 4+ months. Orange skirt with a white star and blue fill center. Gorgeous. Ok I need to stop buying zoa coral, let the garden grow for a bit. Tube sponges seem to get outcompetes by the Zoas, lucky so far, but the yoda patch grew over the sponges a bit so I’m feeling confident. Will pull out the vinegar trick if I need to thanks lost in sauce

Maybe rainbow infusion? Hard to ID zoas sometimes. So many morphs

I have some pink zippers, your photo isn't too great but I can positively say they do look like em. I got a 2 polyp frag of them a couple months ago from unique corals and they are now a 6-7 polyp frag. Very nice, vibrant zoa, love them!
