Golden Zoas

fiction · Dec 13, 2009

I was wondering if these zoas have a name or if anyone has a similar morph?

This is a photo from a local reefer who calls them "hitchhikers", they're a awesome looking zoa in person and are one of the only true gold zoas I've seen.

Those are dragon eyes, or yellow brick roads (which are ridiculously similar) under actinics. Very common. Nice photo though.

LOL forsure not them!
Those do look nice by the way

Ask anyone that has dragon eyes or yellow brick roads to take a picture with actinics only...and thats what you'll see. Someone else chime in on this.

Dragon eyes have an orange center.

Here's my orange centers under actinic (dragon eyes). I don't understand the LOL's and disagreement.

If anything is funny...its the fact that someone posts an actinic shot and people respond by trying to name them.

You're way off, the photo was taken under t-5's. They're not even close to looking like dragon eyes, which have an orange center.

Here's an older photo of them from my old tank (next to the orange palys).

I think they're unique, since gold/yellow colors are not as common.

This is my problem with voicing my thoughts and opinions, if somebody disagrees they lol and ridicule you in a way that is quite offensive, like I am some kind of ****** for being miss-informed or having a coral thats known by different names regionaly. Then I get ticked and get censored by the mods (who have been very patient with me by the way).

Mitsuko, I have those but got them as sunflowers, here is a pic,

and here is what I bought as dragon eyes,

Ya, that's the closest looking morph I could find.

not trying to change the subject on the golden zoas .....but fiction...what kind of lights and flow do you have?

Reef 5etup · Dec 13, 2009

Your last pic you posted of them looks just like the supersonics i can never get the true colors of my colony with cam cuz there so bright in person! I run no sup's at all just mh! If i had led's or some kinda sup antinic they would probably look like your first pic! Those are sick fiction i like them alot!
