Top 10 Zoa's

Can’t have a top ten without little shop of horrors. Just got some but they are so dang small and I put them a little bit back and can’t get a picture to save my life. So pretty though they glow. Hopefully they get bigger. Reef roids do your thing!

I’m a stick head as well but have a very large Zoa collection as well,
Gmks
Solar circus
Hallucinations
Aoi
Illuminati
Superstars
Black Superman
Bowsers
Chong bong
Flaming Mohicans
Frozen Mohicans
Murder hornets
Are some of my favorites currently
 
I don't have many zoas, but these are my favorites: Corona zoas. I love how they have a longer tentacled skirt that goes with the flow, and they are small polyped as well. The contrast between the true golden yellow and the rich blue is amazing! The blue in the disc is one of the truest blues that I have seen.

One under daylight, one under actinic:

My top zoas are:

- Rastas (already on the list)
- Electric Oompa Loompas
- Candy Apple Red
- Sonic Flare
- White walkers (not everyone likes)
- Sunny D
- Utter chaos
- Twezzlers
- Armor of god
- Pink Hipo

And some eye candy for you:

Just looked up white walkers...those are awesome. Seem to be more of a VERY light purple...I’m sure they are $$$$
 
I find that smaller zoas are kind of pointless if they have a mix of colors on their polyp because they just blend together when the colony gets big. This is why I like bigger zoas and palys because they can have an intricate or exotic contrast of colors or glyph and it doesn't get lost as the colony grows. Hornets are an example. They are cool when you get close but not really interesting if you view from a distance.

For this reason for smaller zoas I prefer primary colors. My favorites are radioactive dragon eyes, bam bams, oxides, kedds reds, Tubbs blues, and king mi
 
There are so many variations of zoa's, each beautiful in their own way. While the bigger ones are easier to view from a distance, the details and colors of the small polyped zoa's are equally as stunning. This picture isn't the best and I'm battling some cyano, but you can see the contrast and amazing colors in these smaller zoa's; emeralds on fire, twizzlers, la lakers, fruit loops, eagle eyes and one of my all time favs, blue hornets... not sure what the green/blue ones are. The picture does absolutely no justice to the hornets.

There's definitely a lot more I probably have photos of, but these are just a few I dug up from the Flickr account. Hopefully this will give you some ideas and inspiration for that area of your reef tank!
 
AOG, PPE, Bam Bam, pink elephants, LA Lakers, twizzlers, AOI, sunny d, rastas, emerald on fire.

If you're making some rocks that are isolated, I would do a couple mushroom rocks. Bold color and will fill in faster than zoas.
