Zoa ID - Im Stumped

ReefStable · Oct 13, 2024

Looks almost like a Chiquita but no pink on the outside.

Thoughts?

Can you get white light pics as well? Almost look like Camouflage zoas but ever so slightly different

I'll have to bring another Fixture in. The farm systems doesn't have white lights :/

Sometimes I will just turn my lights off and shine a flashlight on it while taking a picture, it’s close enough

I believe these are the older wow wobbegong zoa

Very cool polyps. Not common at all. Can be fussy.

This looks to be much closer than Camouflages

Hmm... Camaflage look more like a pally.

The wobbegong wow may be possible. They seem a lot more random patterns than these though. I'll try to get some more photos when I get the chance.

Look like speckled krakens to me. Sometimes they dont speckle. Get us another photo though under more whites, or with an orphek for blue

Alright, let's try this again
Blue (Orphek Blue Plus OR3)

Slightly Whiter Light

Much Whiter Light

They seem a little more yellow, even under blues, than the first photo seems. I would argue that the middle photo is the closest to the real amount of yellow/green color.

They look like yellow speckled krakens without the speckles! I lean towards chiquitas with no green skirts, but that is odd. They could possibly be golden mauls that are just more yellow than normal.
