Ricordea identification

[Reef_prop88]

Sorry to start another id thread but can somebody tell me what kind of ricordea this is? I bought it at an online auction yesterday as a rainbow ricordea (cheap) but was thinking it was a orange ricordea instead. Only reason I am asking on here is because it seems the orange ricordeas are orange with green and this is orange with purple and a green mouth? Either way I'm happy with the purchase I think. Looks like its in great shape.

These are one of my favorites. They thrive in a variety of conditions, never overtake the whole tank, and are just a really pretty coral. I think you're going to be happy.

I'm really happy even if they aren't rainbows. I bought them at an online fb auction last night through aquariumwholesale.com

Oh honestly I think the orange looks better than most of the rainbows. They are just a really great coral. I keep the orange, two strains of blue, a green and orange, and a pink. I think orange is my fav. You will be able to see it from across the room.

Those are two different Zoanthus. The speckled ones look like Pandoras to me. They WILL overtake the tank. Put them on the sand or something. The other solid ones are a different strain. Not sure. It's pretty though!

Yeah I plan on putting them on their own rock. I also have JF mango cooler zoas in my tank which I put right on the main rock structure because I think they look great! They might be my favorite thing in the tank so far. The pic does them no justice.

Rainbow typically means 3 or more colors from what I gathered in this hobby. I see 4 in yours.

Aquariumswholesale is one of my LFS, I order from them all the time

You should get on their fb page and do an auction sometime. They have great deals during the auctions. I'm sure you get to take advantage of pricing be local too though. Once I set up a frag tank in the near future I might call them up and order 50-100 random frags for the low then just pawn off the ones I don't like to my lfs lol.
