No way! Did you get these at your lfs?

 

[Mrc8858]

Thanks lol but no rush they aren't going anywhere lol. The oranges remind me most of the magicians palys or the speckled fire and ice zoas. Nothing else I've found are very close. Wish there wasn't like 10,000 different variations haha

Yep buy 5 for $5 get one free all week long 10am-10pm lol

Hey Matt! Jack and i are pretty sure based off of the 1st picture, and from left to right
1. Fire and Ice Zoas
2. Green Galactica palys
3. Im pretty sure they are Asterina Pink Palys
4. The minority are more Fire and Ice, the majority are (and i think) Reverse Gorilla Nipples (lol)

I didnt see any gold speckled zoas, at least like ours. They generally have larger polyps

Dang I definitely feel like my lfs has been ripping me off now....i paid $24 for a green star polyp frag.

 

[Mrc8858]

2 and 4 I agree but the pinks are zoas and the orange with teal speckles are palys...urghh this is why I hate trying to buy zoas/palys outta the frag tank lmao

They had pink star polyps there for $5 (about 3/4") never seen or new they existed either.. almost bought them but don't have room for anymore quickly encrusting corals like that lol

Orange with teal speckles? Hmm ya could be magicians then. If you could get a close up thatd be cool

For 3 i would just call them Pink Zoas IMO. Its hard to find an original strain of zoa with a legit name, sometimes you just gotta make em up lol

 

[Mrc8858]

I just opened an ID thread with new pics

 

[Mrc8858]

Daylights just turned off

 

[Mrc8858]

Decided if I get to name my zoas grant the pinks will be "its a girl!" Zoas since they got the baby blue skirts lol

 

[Convict2161]
