Zoa ID please!

[Bigbaby]

Can someone ID this zoa for me? They started popping up in my tank. I havent purchased anything like these before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

They look like Rainbow Incinerator Zoas to me.

Very nice colors! I wish my hitchhikers were that cool [emoji23]

I would agree with travv. They do look like rainbow incinerator from the pic.

How come the ones in my tank extend their "tentacles" like palys?

Are they in a high flow area? Some of my zoas that are in high flow also have longer than normal tentacles.

Its a small 14g so theres all sorts of flow in the tank, but every single zoa in my tank has extended tentacles and that got me to think that maybe it isn't flow related. Im stumped. :[

Hmm, how's the lighting in that area of the tank? Is it farther away from the light or in a shaded spot?

I have a kessil 360 at 50% about 20" away from the zoas. The dimensions on my tank is quite small so everything gets a great deal of exposure. Could it be lighting related? The hightest placed zoas right underneath the center of light are nightmares that have super stringy tentacles.

I would go with what nemhost said then. Flow.

All the zoas in your tank are the same in appearance regardless of lighting conditions.

Stronger flow = longer "tentacles"

Btw, yeah your zoas look fine and I personally like the longer lashes. I wouldn’t worry about them.

They do look great and really healthy [emoji122][emoji106]
