Zoa ID (wild, expensive, unnamed)

PBnJOnWheat · Jan 21, 2021

I

was told these were wild, unseen, and unlabeled. Testing that pre-purchase theory to see if it holds up now that I dropped top dollar for them. The most gold zoas I’ve ever seen. I will be selling a couple polyps at some point also.

Gold zoa id+more!

This is the first time ive ever seen a truelly gold zoa,on top of that they have a navy blue ring with a white mouth and green skirts. Does anyone know if they are named? They are pretty small tho You think they are yellow,no, compare them to these zoas,these zoas also need an id 2 more...

Theyook a lot like what this guy has. Though nobody ever named them in the thread. I read that you can give it a name and submit it to coral vault and they will either 1) name it whatever name you gave it or 2) tell you what it is.

Coral vault? Sorry I’m unfamiliar with this process lol. Sounds interesting maybe they can ID the suckers

I had never heard of it either. I came across it in another thread for the first time yesterday. If you do look into it I would be curious to see how it goes! I also have a zoanthid that I would like to see if it has a name. I cant find anything like it on zoabrary.com.

I love the idea. I'm a college student so the coral funds are low.

Marine Farmers has some called yellow fever zoanthids that look something like that.

Just a zoa...

Hi! I actually responded to the other thread on this same zoa. I think it’s a LC Gold Maul, but this is a super stunner! https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/zoa-id-paly.796007/#post-8473168
