ID this coral please?

[DracoKat]

i didn't notice the Orange piece on this frag when I bought it- sponge? It is soft

Also- what color ID is this zoa?

Thanks!!

I am not a zoa expert, but those *look* like my dragon eye zoas.

there's not much of green in the zoas, at least not neon-bright green. more of yellows.

I am not finding anything about the orange bit.

If you can get a picture of them open in your tank it would be easier to id them.

Yes that is a sponge, it's cool.

thank you! Any idea how I can separate it from the zoas? I don't think I want them growing together like that

Soft tooth brush.

Personally I would not be concerned unless the zonathids after acclimation were remaining closed. I have sponges grow on my plugs without issue except for one instance. As I posted earlier it's a very cool hitch-hiker with fantastic color.

thank you I am loving the orange. hopefully it won't cause problems later on!

Keep an eye on the sponge, I had some crowd out my zoas.
