it looks like a common assortment of zoas. mostly green and red. maybe someone else can chime in on it.

I think once they color up you'll have some Radioactive Dragon Eyes & some Eagle Eyes. There might be another variety in the mix as well but I don't have a name for those. HTH.

Awesome! Thanks guys! I just got them a
Couple days ago and they react incredible to the
Light, close up and night and as soon as the actinic comes on they open right up!

Yeah they are your standard zoas. People give them names all the time but its just a name. I could get a big colony of something, give it a name, frag it out and you have a new zoa on the market lol

I've never been a big fan of the name game myself, but when I ask somebody what kind of a car they drive and they tell me a Toyota, we really didn't get anywhere. Toyota what? Names like Highlander, Camry, Corolla, Tacoma, etc distinguish one car from the other. It's the same with zoanthids, the reputable names anyways.

They all pretty much require the same lighting and flow correct? That was my main reason for asking. I have them in medium flow and near the middle to top of the tank.

Pretty much. Some can be a little bit more temperamental than others, but as long as your parameters are within reason and they're recieving enough, light they should do fine. You might have to move them up or down, left to right to find the sweet spot, but that's no big deal. GL.

sponger0 · 05/02/2012, 03:28 PM

Some zoas want more light or less light or more flow or less. It varies.

For example, my Blue Tubbs zoas dont do well on the bottom of the tank. They do better halfway up.
