Anyone have a clue what zoas these are? They look cool so i bought some but theres no name. It said just zoa. Not sure of price will give a clue. They were 2.50 for 8-10 polyps. Thanks

Looks like Reverse Gorilla nipple zoas :) healthy colony at that!
Lol what a name. But these guys have way more colour inside dont you think? Outside looks right, inside doesn’t exactly match. Doesn’t help being colourblind too
 
I agree- the name could be better! Lol I’ll attach some photos I found online- while some can definitely be bland in coloration, I think you just have a very vibrant colony! With this being a quick growing zoa, morphs and varieties in color are not uncommon! :) this is just my opinion though

Lol when I received them next week in the mail, I’ll post another pic of them. This pic is taken by the seller. I only have this pic. Im guessing its so cheap cause they grow very fast. So im gonna make sure it’s totally seperated from my main rocks

I haven’t heard of them taking over like Pandora’s or Green paly’s do, but always better safe than sorry :)

There’s several morphs of gorilla nips, none of them are the painfully invasive type. They should do well for the OP.
 
@Jonathan lee, they’re just gorilla nipples, you can drop the ‘reverse.’ It’s a safe name for any zoas with an orange center, green/brown middle and a brown skirt.
I see. Alright thanks. There was no name and when i asked the seller I didn’t get a reply.
