Zoa Id - cuz I'm crazy!! LOL

[Reef Gardener]

I ordered a few zoa from a local reefer back in April because he was going out of the hobby supposedly! Said he had Greenbay Packers and Goochers at least 10 polyps of each so I ordered them. He delivered them and because of a family emergency I didnt look at them right then just gave him the money.
Here are the frags I got. I know they arent open all the way but even as closed up as they are I think you can see they are not Greenbay Packers or Goochers. What do you think??

Got all three of these beautiful frags for $60!!

My camera stinks!

Not real sure what goochers look like, but If you're local to me (Michigan), I have a small frag of GB Packers you can have.

 

[Reef Gardener]

Nikon - that is a wonderful gesture and very much appreciated, I have some little yellows I could trade you.

 

[Nikon_Guy]

A trade would be great but not necessary. I have a 20+ polyp piece of what I believe to be Green Bay Packers. If they aren't they sure are close.

Here is a picture.

 

[Reef Gardener]

Those are absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much.

No it wasnt someone here, the worst part was I gave a negative feedback, then got one saying I was a crazy lady - which resulted in about 10 posts from moderators etc, just a nightmare all around.

In all the years I have been in reefing I can honestly say I have never had a complaint with someone until this. Thats pretty good and says alot about how the majority of Reefers are.
Pretty awesome people for the majority.

LOL true! Sorry bout this.

 

[ReeferGoalie]

I would wait until they open up. I've seen zoanthids that look pink closed and open to yellow or vice-versa, so with them being partially closed it's near impossible to say what they are or aren't. The third pic are definitely some Parazoanthus though.

FWIW, I've got a bunch of the Goochsters (Gooch is local to me) and they're exactly what Marvin shows in his tank. If you do want some, I may have a frag available in a couple weeks. They're a really gorgeous zoanthid.

Not a problem guys at all!! Marvin that pic is awesome!

 

[FateX8]

actually i think they could be
they probably have no "lineage" but the first looks like theres some yellow/orange in the middle
the second really cant tell other than it being half opened but it is a more reddish color
but theyre deffiantely not one thing, taken care of or 10 polyps each
if that guy is local to you they should have opened up right away

 

[Reef Gardener]

Sorry for some of the confusion - they are closed because I had just turned the lights on to take the pics. The Green one truely doesnt have any yellow or orange in it - what you are seeing I think is the lighting causing that, the other is a deep pinkish purple no other color and yes they were pretty sick when I bought them.


RCS - please keep me posted would like a frag please.
