Zoas id help

[dakotasreef]

Picked these up from a friend, and he had no clue on a name. I'm not a big zoa guy but I was drawn to them.

I do believe they might be fruitloop from japan but not sure.. look into it for you.. the kind of look like my fruit loops when they first came in and were not in to good of condition so they had that coloration to them. I put mine under my 12k vho t5s and 1x super violet actinic 460nm with 1x super blue 420 nm until they got use to light again for a week then moved them to my other tank under 14k halide and they turned really really blue on the outer lip and really red in the middle..

They look absolutely nothing like Fruitloops. Fruitloops are bright green, with purple/blue centers and orange skirts. CoralPedia.com :: Fruit Loops

The Zoanthids pictured are closest to Awesome Blossoms, IMO. CoralPedia.com :: Awesome Blossom

+1 those are definitely not fruit loops

They do look like some type of Japanese deep waters but not fruit loops. Looks kinda like the ones cherry corals just posted. Watermelon something I think. Cool tho anyways.

I'm leaning towards the awesome blossoms myself. The only difference I can see, the pictures from zoaid have orange banding on the skirts. Mine are void of the banding.

Thanks for your help

Awesome blossoms or asterina pinks.

That's so strange. But that is exactly what they look like.
