Looks like a rainbow but not too sure

My guess is Stratocaster zoas on the right, but I’d wait for some more ids to back that

Hard to say exactly. My lfs has a few of these rocks with various morphs of this type of zoa. Most are small rocks/pieces of coral glued to mariculture disks. I believe they are coming form indo through one of the major coral wholesalers. They get them and pop the individual rocks off and call them all kinds of different names for the different variations. I do like the bright yellow ones though. Kind of remind me of reverse pink hippos

There’s a ton of these indo strains that have been coming in the last year and a half that were otherwise unavailable during the export ban - including strains that are now trading as stratospheres. Some have been named ie POTO exospheres, aquatic operations Troposhperes and then more widely recognized names like lemon heads, chiquitas. Stratocasters is a bucket that all these yellow/purple/black strains can otherwise go in and certainly some are nicer than others. Whether people try and name them something more specific and whether that name sticks is a crapshoot.
I’ve worked with 6-7 strains cherry picked off pucks. It’s dicey whether they acclimate to aquarium life long term. I’ve had a few drop off after 6-7 months while others are going strong after almost 2 years. I will say they consistently do well in lower par (sub 90) and with regular targeted feedings.
