Flaming Mohican vs JF A**kraks

lynn.reef.nerd · Oct 13, 2021

Are these two zoas the same?

I don't have the Flaming Mohican but pics that I found online all look very similar to the JF A**kraks.

Thanks.

They are two separate strains. Here’s pics from the same system for reference. Mohicans are top, as$kraks are bottom.

Why do so many JF corals have names that suggest a certain fixation?

I asked him at a swap what the deal was, sorta of a crappy name for one of my favorite zoas. He said him and his buddy were drunk, screwing around and came up with the name while riffing on the 'krak family' name.

Fine, but now I have butt kissers, butt munchers, a** monkeys... I joke with myself and come up with even more explicit names and sometimes forget the real names.

I don't know why, but my made up names that bounce around in my head always need the "Jason fox radioactive-" prefix. So maybe "Jason fox radioactive a*$ eaters." I also switch out the verb in there for some of them.

No problem, worth pointing out those are two of the more difficult zoas to keep.

yeah, this.

Keep in mind there is no reason we have to keep using these dumb names.

Theres a zoa that some idiot originally called "Blue Eyed Blond Haired Female Dogs", but these have been pretty widely renamed to just Blondies or Blue Eyed Blondes. Theres really no need to keep using the stupid names a few people with odd fixations have attached to zoas - its easily fixed.
