They look almost identical. How much did yours cost if you don mind me asking

 

[ReeferWarrant]

Theyre pretty common from what I have seen, I bought a frag with 3 on them and paid something like $15-20. I've been selling plugs like that for $10.

Thats not too bad then i paid £18 wich is about $23 for the whole colony. I took a gamble and it worked out in my favour, this time at least

Yeah those were my first ever corals, they grow pretty quickly.

these are punk rockers.... I believe you have a generic no name zoa, still beautiful though

Yeah your probably right but for the price I paid im well happy there must be 150-200 polyps.

This photo is a close up might help with identification.

@Oscar47f, I've seen them sold as punk rockers on other sites (doesnt mean its right). I know cornbread has the ones you posted though, which are way cooler.

Yeah just because they don’t have a name doesn’t mean they’re not beautiful and worth the price especially for a colony !! Now that I see them up close I saw someone calling these heart breakers or something... not too sure, these were also the first zoanthids I ever had turned into the following...

Yeah many places will rename and rebrand zoanthids and try to make money off of them without looking them up to make sure they have the right strain... it’s sucks... but yeah I’ve seen them sold as punk rockers but the OG I guess come from cornbred at the end of the day if you’re not a serious collector you should just buy stuff you like

 

[ReeferWarrant]

@Oscar47f, absolutely I bought them to test the waters of having corals. No complaints here, I just relocated them to a small rock of their own and they are multiplying like crazy. I dont need the stress of a $100+ coral shriveling up and dying, I'd be out of this hobby very quickly.

Looks like a fire and Ice to me.
