Sticker Shock or Reverse Hallucination

[Xanthurum]

I Just got a big order from @SVP and got a freebie but what is it? I would also like to add that I could not be happier with the communication, packing, shipping and quality of the zoas so if you are in the market for some good stuff give him a shout.

Thanks for he guess but it’s not pink in the center it’s orange/redish plus he told me it was one of the 2 mentioned. I’m leaning towards Sticker Shock based on my searching but wanted to get others opinion, I guess SVP was right when he said he loves a good mystery lol.

Same Zoa

So reverse hallucinations and flaming brohcians (not mohicans) are the same thing. Cherry corals dubbed them flaming brohicans. Another local guy had been selling them as reverse halls. This is all in the midwest. The sticker shock came from BSA so that's where all the different names came from.

IMO these are all the same zoa just different lighting and water param's. I've had someone contest that saying the skirt on the sticker shock was slightly more yellow than green... but that's not enough of a distinguishing characteristic (for me). I've seen the two side by side in the same system and I believe they're the same thing so you should be able to use the name interchangeably.

Be forewarned. Some people will still insist Cb Bloodshot Kraks are different than speckled kraks (they're not!) just for whatever reason, so likely the same with these.

Just got this as BSA sticker shock. Naming and branding zoas is a funny thing. Some of the cheapest zoas are the brightest, nicest ones in my opinion. Like this Sunny D..straight fire if you ask me!

sunny D were THE hot polyp around 6 years ago , and demanded stupid money , now they are more common hence the low price. Its cyclical the coral game.

Ive only been reefing now for 3 years. All I've known sunny ds to be are a cheap zoa. Makes sense though, theyre really nice!

Here’s the strain I have that came from cherry corals.

The color/speckling in the the center varies. A few buddies got these from me and some have more or less solid centers.

Utters used to be super expensive too and now they are very affordable. The ones I got are some of the brightest orange I have ever seen. Now just got to wait for LSOH to drop in price. The sticker shock are on my list too but after the ASD gummy worm I got melted in a month I can wait for prices to go down.

I just spent a nd still spending a lot of money on high end zoas so buy the time they grow out to sell they might be common! LOL My utter chaos and sunny d are probably my faves as well. LSOH are about the smallest in my tanks. Pretty but small! I do have 5 heads already though and got them pretty cheap on ebay! I got lucky on a bid for a change!

I have someone that sold me both flaming Mohicans and sticker shock. The Mohican have no marbeling and look liike something he called bloodsuckers! He claimed the lighting morphed them or they were low in the tank or some bull! I am going to get him to change them out for all sticker shocks or grim reaper or something. he has alot of high
end coral and thats the nly one questionable and I won't them at good prices as well! I have over 40 coming in! LOL
