Zoa ID

[agame2021]

Got my first frag today! It’s a zoa but they didn’t tell me what kind. They were having a sell and trying to get rid of them because they had way to many. I got it because I wanted to test my tank with something cheap for a few months before getting expensive corals.

also please help me with best lighting? Should I keep it this blue? Or am I supposed to use a different color?

Can you take pic under white lights for a more accurate I.d ?

Look like playboy bunnies or Halle berry’s in this pic lighting

That is as white as I could get these lights and as clear as I could get the pic lol iPhone 12 thru 1/2-3/4 in glass is hard

To my eyes the light is still too blue for an accurate ID. But I would agree with the above mention of possible Halle’s.

This is under the white a green light… if this helps.

you don't ID zoas with white light. It washes everything out. See post above^

The first picture with blue light + orange filter was the right approach. I agree with @tjohnson3 with his Halle Berry ID.

You do. Heavy blue makes blue look like purple, yellow like orange, green as yellow and so forth.

I disagree but to each their own.
