Zoa ID needed

[CCauthers]

I got these zoas a little while, ago, they are doing great in my tank but I am not sure what they are called. The second pic is of a polyp I got as part of a larger colony, and would also like to see if anyone has an "official" name for it. Thanks!

Too might be radioactive dragon eyes. An oldie but a goodie

First picture is Radioactive Dragon Eyes

Thanks! Any ideas for the second one?

First picture is not radioactive dragon eyes. Your zoas have a yellow-orange ring which RDE’s do not have. I’m thinking incredible zoas that have sat under a bit lower lighting. (See top 2 on left)

2 kinda looks like a baby daisy cutter zoa. Is it full grown or tiny?

It is full grown, and when you look at it in person it's not quite a daisy cutter; It doesn't have the white daisy shape around the center.

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Are you saying I should move them to a higher light level? Or that they'll look less like RDEs if they're in a higher light level?

I’m saying that your zoas are 100% NOT RDE zoas. I’m saying that the ones in the picture are from pretty high light and yours would look the same in higher light.

Does the second zoa have reds under blue’s? It could be a fire n ice.

Good to know! What did you buy yours as?

They don't have any reds under blues, but the gold around the mouth is very bright.

Here's a better picture, one of the polyps is closed but it should help.

I actually don’t have that particular zoa but I usually see them sell from $5-$10 pp or $40-$50 for a good sized chunk
