Picked this up at the LFS last weekend, it's been slow to open up and the polyps are a bit smaller than I was expecting. I do apologize, the colors are a bit washed out as I only have my phone and no filters available. Also I used digital zoom as it's quite small but I think you get the gist. The tentacles are largely orange (maybe burnt orange?) and the inner part is a light tealish color so far as I can tell.

Can anyone let me know a) if this is a Zoa or not (pretty sure it is) and b) if there is an accepted name for this variety? I realize they are arbitrary so I am perfectly fine calling this a tealish/orangish zoa, it just helps to have a common language if there is indeed one.

Thank you!

ps. I know about the algae :|

my untrained eye says it looks like a "TSA Glow Pop Zoa" - upon further googling, this does not seem to be the "common name" but perhaps you can use this reference as a guide to if your frag of zoa is this or resembles this.
 
They look like Alpha and Omega zoas
