Silly question...

I was wondering what the difference is between Sunny D's, Vivid Rainbow, and WoodStock's? I have all three, which took a while to acquire

. Now that I have them, I really don't see much difference. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this. I'd post a pic but I just fragged my woodstocks and I have an iphone3 that over saturates the blues, don't judge, my money goes to coral

I'll take a swing, although there are folks that are WAY smarter about this on this board than I am! lol
Sunny Ds - green center transitioning to yellow/orange with green ring on discs with brownish skirt
Vivid Rainbows - similar pattern on disc, but transitions noticeably to orange/red on edge of disc then brownish skirt
Woodstocks - green center transitioning to yellow/orange with NO green ring
Honestly, to me the Woodstocks look a lot like Sunny D's and I know I have seen LOTS of them called by that name.

Okay - all the zoa-dudes (and dude-ets) can correct me now if I am wrong!

This is what I have seen as the typical SunnyD coloration, Pic is from a post by FaviaFreak found on R2R's zoa spotlight thread about SunnyDs: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/zo...-zoanthid-coral-spotlight-sunny-delights.html

Josh, your pics make me crazy jealous of your collection.

So the vivid rainbow does not have any kind of speckling at all on the skirt? I have some i purchased from Vivid that I thought were rainbows but they have a very slight reddish speckle on the skirt.

Beautiful pics, josh.

Sunny D's seem to have a speckled skirt,Rainbows dont.

MY vivids have kind of light green lines on the skirts you can barely see them. sunny D's have speckles.

Sunny D has more green and bright orange while Vivid rainbow has darker in orange and less green

I can see sunny d's and vivids looking close. but not true woodstocks. My ARC woodstocks look nothing like my sunny d's or the vivids. Like everyone says sunny d's have speckles on the skirt and the vivids do not have this at all. Please post some pics. we wont judge your crappy camera pics and maybe we can help you if you have some of the same zoas, but bought them as other zoas. This happenes all the time with those two zoas.
