Not familiar with them, but looked it up on Google.

What I found was similar, though more orangey than greenish like the ones you've posted.

Pretty zoas, though!

told they are...aka fairy dust, star dust, Also called WWC Pandora's. from another owner: They grow extremely fast and choke out other surrounding zoas. I had them for awhile. 5p turned into 200+ in no time. Had to sell half my rock to get rid of them!

they grow crazy fast and long staulks tower over the other zoa - it will be a problem for me soon also... oh well

I've had those for a while. Pandoras.... they will grow extremely fast! I isolated them to a small island with a blasto colony... so far the blasto hasn't been taken over, but other stuff surely will be. I even had these growing on some xenia stalks at the store. That's right.... the actualy xenia stalks had these growing on them! lol they will grow anywhere.

Here is a thread about WWC Pandora's Link

Heres a google link to some picture that I found on the fairy dust ploys

Those do not look like WWC Pandoras to me. Pandoras have a lot more pink/purple to them than what I am seeing in the pictures from my experiences with them.

Those are decent looking polyps though.

I did research and "some" photos of pandoras looked like mine some did not. i know depending on the sunset/rise lighting they did change colors more for me. under a not so high end LED and not so great of a photo in my post. i got them in 2014 thinking "yeah those zoa look kinda cool". found a local taker so I am letting the rock go i have frags of everything on it anyway. wish i knew some can be seriously invasive so to speak (the speed these grew compared to others when given the chance to spread was nuts and the long necks and large heads buried other zoa - should of left them contained)
