Zoa ID pretty please =)

[ReefKeeperNick]

Hey guys n gals,

Can anyone ID this Zoa for me? I have quite a few on my mixed colony... which as of yet only half want to open up!

Photos are pretty true to their appearance under Kessil A80 Tunas...tinkered with my white balance as best I could!

Thanks in advance!

Eagle Eyes

Oh wow, thank you!

Yours are stunning to say the least!

Ant tips for me on care requirements? Mine aren't in any rush to fully open up just yet...

Could you help me ID the others amongst the colony? (Pretty please with a cherry on top)...sorry for the poor pic the lights are ramped right down now for their bed time!

Those aren't mine. Just a photo from the internet, lol.
These look like Radioactive Dragon Eyes. Have a look at some pics online. They look great!
I forgot, if the polyps are small on the first ones, they might be Whammin Watermelons, but mine have more of a yellow fringe vs green with the Eagle Eyes.
For care, most people would probably say medium light and lower flow. That certainly works well for them. I find you can also move them up high if you take it slow. Then they get more color vs. larger polyps when down low. Some of mine get a light breeze that is just enough to make the skirts move. It's sort of on and off with the random flow generator nozzle. They are happy and it makes some zoas grow longer skirts/fringe. Others, like my Bloodsuckers, grow really long skirts if on the bottom and with low flow, but not much up high. I guess they are all different. I think you know what your doing already from these pics! Which Brighton are you in?

Thanks again John that's really useful info there...think I've narrowed them down now to a mixed colony of Eagle Eyes and Radioactive Dragons then!

Thanks for the support...I think they're getting there in terms of half the colony opening...I think I need to just persist with their position which is moderate light and to medium flow and not tinker too much! Patience is key =)

I'm in Brighton UK

I wish I could be there right now, I used to go to Brighton with my family. That whole patience thing...I hate hate that.
