I dont think they are watermelons. Does the name blue death match those colors? The guy I bought it from said something like that about the last zoas.

+1......
+1- though the third one is a really rough guess considering the photo. Also- they're all Zoa's, both hobbyiest classified as well as scientifically.

+1 But I have also heard of the bottom one called eagle eyes. To be honest in this hobby every coral has at least two names. :wink:

Definitely not kedds reds.
there's hours of discussions on Whammin Watermelons = ? =/= Dragon Eyes (eagle eyes are yellow and orange, dragon's are green and orange) and depending who you ask, it's either conclusively proven that they're the same, or conclusively proven they're different. Lol
Yea, I really want to get a wiki going for coral ID's, something tells me it'd be the best self-regulating system for ID's
LOL, while I agree with you all on multiple names, if you've ever had both true Whammin Watermelons and True Eagle Eyes in the same tank, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Side by side, the two varieties while similar in terms of color are very distinct in terms of appearance. FWIW, Dragon eyes (which also have another name - can't think of it at the minute), look nothing like the Watermelons or the Eagle Eyes. Of course now you have the deepwater varieties and the long-skirts and umpteen other variations which only serves to confuse the issue even more.
