Eagle Eyes?

DesktopReefer · Mar 8, 2022

I love knowing the types of corals I pick up. In looking around online, these look most like eagle eyes to me? Anyone agree or have a different name they think it matches?

With the angle of your photo, it can be difficult to see but from what I can see you are correct defiantly a Zoanthid.

It's hard to tell under the blue lighting but I would say those are either Eagle Eyes or Watermelon zoas. They are very similar but the orange ring tends to be bigger/brighter in the watermelons when compared to EE's.

Not helpful, but thanks for wasting your time on a snarky response.

Based on what you said, I’m more leaning towards Watermelon then. I absolutely love the orange color glowing under the blue and it is a pretty wide band of orange.

Or were you trying to say a zoa and not a paly?

Yeah, that sounds more like watermelons. The orange really pops under blue lighting. I'll see if I can post some pictures of my eagle eyes and watermelons so you can see for sure.
