ID this zoa!

Hey... I got these zoas from Pazazz about 3 weeks ago or more. I have been asking around and no one seems to know. Do these little guys have a name? If not, I think they should. They are a beautiful combination of a pastel green and purple! A little hard to tell by the pictures, and I will try to get some better ones when I can...

Actinic shot when I first got 'em (I have since gotten all the algae off)

Let me know what you think!

I don't know what they are but they sure are sweet!!!

How did you get the algae off?

Sweet colors

I've got those as well. Mine have lost a bit of the green though. I promise to put my tank up on here one of these days

To answer the question about the camera (You might not believe this when you hear it)... I am simply using a digital camera. No Macro lens or anything. Just a Nikon S50, got it for my birthday about a month ago. It works pretty well. It has a really nice macro mode. It does take me 100 pictures to get 10-15 I like, but I enjoy it.

ARRGGHH Chris, you aren't supposed to have everything I have... Gotta trade something!

Use a tripod

Do they look like anything like these?

sf_ramsden · Jul 2, 2007

It seems as though maybe mine have more purple in the center. Chris said he has these, maybe he can join in and answer if they look someone like yours rev... I will try to get a picture in a few days, and yes I have a tripod I am just too lazy to get it out

What are those though rev?

revhtree · Jul 2, 2007

Yea after looking again, I see the purple. I like yours!!!

I guy who I got them from was calling them purple sea fanta I believe.

Here is what they look like under some nice actinic: (this is not my pic)

Wow! Very nice, I like those. Those look a little closer, but still different I would say. I haven't gotten any growth on mine yet, so I will see how it goes over the next few months. Really hope they can grow and I can spread the love, because they are a beautiful specimen

revhtree · Jul 2, 2007

Yea they look awesome! Put me on the list!

My bet would be on Pink Elephants. Very nice.

That is close from that pic, but have seen Pink Elephants in person, and they look nothing like that pic

Yeah I know. My glass is dirty and I'm trying to install a new 500GB hard drive while setting up my frag tank. Thank goodness I'm off this week!! I'll work on getting some sort of picture.
