I have no idea not into zoes but dang those are pretty!

 

[Monroereef]

The cost a dear penny, so interested to know what they are :bigsmile:

Eagle eyes or whammin watermelon?

 

[iReefer]

just some eagle eye morph.

 

[foxhuntr]

those look like eagle eyes and mean greens

 

[Monroereef]

The orange one maybe is an eagle eye morph, however no pic matches these on the net.
The second one is not an eagle eye.

 

[kershak]

eagle eye +1

the one on the left is an eagle eye-not showing a lot of skirt extension, but yea, an eagle eye of some sort (a very nice zoa IMO)

ones on the right are mean greens. Not sure if they have a zoaid entry or not, but another nice one.

Cheers and grats on the nice zoa's!

+1 on the eagle eye zoas. They sure are pretty too!!!!

 

[ficklefins]

Left ID is done Whammin Watermelon
Right one is not mean green because mean greens have a larger white/gray area around the mouth which almost takes up 1/2 the oral disc. They are just your Run of the Mill Neon Green.
CoralPedia.com :: Neon Green

Either way, they look good right now but I bet they will color up even better in a month or two.

just out of curiosity, what seperates the whammin watermelons from the eagle eyes?? I thought these were eagle eyes , I have these in my tank at work......

To me there is no difference because they are too similar to differentiate, but here is a long discussion to your point:

Thank you fins! I really appreciate you taking the time to find that for me. It seems they are almost the same though.... LOL!

Thanks fins! these are another one that I always got confused about what the difference even was.

 

[jiffy]

+1 WW or EAGLE EYES (which ever one you prefer lol) on the left side, those ones on the right are very pretty but idk what they could be..

 

[kershak]

!!!!!! im lost

Lol, at which part?

Basically there's a polyp (the one on the left) that has two identical 'trade' names- whammin watermelons and eagle eyes. There are some who claim it's two different polyps, but the conclusion being reached by the majority is that they're really just the same polyp.

The ones on the right are often sold as "mean greens" because of their color-but as fins pointed out, they lack the characteristics of what is considered the "true" mean greens, so instead are simply called neon greens.

Hope that clears up?
