I'm getting confused to the max. I keep seeing watermelons getting called eagle eyeS. FromWhat I understand watermelon are red around the mouth Right??
And eagle eyes are orange around the mouth Right???
 
I would like to know as well. Hopefully someone will post pictures to help out :)
 
I think alot of people mix up the two of these zoas lately.. IMO and from what I have seen in person. Whamin watermelons have a very bright and short lengthed, almost neon green skirt, where the eagle eyes seem to have a darker green, longer "flowy" skirt.. This is how I would pick out the two if I had to... I saw both of these zoas in someones tank, and I wanted the whamin watermelons so bad because I could see just how brighter green in the skirts where from his eagles and my own eagle eyes in my tank...

Also from what I saw they both look like they have a orange-ish center disk.

Maybe someone who have both can post a pic of them for us..

Here are a few links to what I would feel safe to call whammin watermelons: Whammin Watermelon - Whammin Watermelon - Polyps - Live coral for sale,High quality coral and coral frags and coral frags frags ,Coral frags on frag plugs , zoanthids, SPS, LPS coral
Here is what I would call eagle eyes: Eagle Eyes | Rare Zoanthids
 
eagle eyes are orange and yellow, whammin watermellons look almost red/orange and neon green/yellow skirt. Its easy to tell if you have both side by side.

They def look similar but the wammin watermelon has a more red ring with a neon green skirt and the Eagle eyes have a yellow/orange ring with a yellowish skirt

the yellow tends to be noticably brighter on the eagle eyes compared with the wammin watermelon
