Zoa Identification

Bought this Zoa at Petco in a tank labeled “assorted zoas”, wondering if anyone could help me figure out specifically what it is, and give me a few pointers and tips? Thanks in advance!

That's my guess. Have a look on google. I could be wrong!

Any specifics I need too look for in terms of flow and lighting? There looks to be two different kinds of zoas on the frag, I could be wrong though.

I think they look more like Greenbay Packers

I would start them on the sand in a low flow spot. They generally prefer lower flow. Once they seem happy for a few days, you can try moving them up a bit at a time. Maybe 1-2 inches per week. In brighter light they will develop better/brighter coloration. In lower light they will get larger polyps. Different ones will do better under different lights. Experiment a bit. Other people may say something a little different. There are plenty of posts on here about exactly that. Enjoy them!

I agree. I hadn't thought of them.
