They do kinda look like magicians but the spots in the middle are a little less than what I can find online. Maybe a low quality magician?

I think this picture is of a frag from the same colony it might be a better picture.

#1)

Hope it's ok if I can throw another at you.

#2)

Did some research on #1 and it looks similar to a black cherry nova. Anyone else agree?

Edit: scratch that.. googled it and it doesn't look the same as it does here:

Ok so I might let go of #2 unless I can figure out what it is and if it's worth increasing my bid because someone has a max bid on it now.

I want to make the most out of the "up to 10 frags" shipping so trying to get a couple at least but also like to know what they are!

How about these?

Not sure on the names, but I will say if you like them, pull the trigger in them. They look nice to me

I wanted these guys so bad but they went for like $30 or something crazy! Plus the $15 shipping I had to bail out ?

Oh I saw those! Any idea what they are? They're neat looking.

Just a question, why are zoa variety names so ridiculous? I mean, red people eater, radioactive dragons eye? Do they have scientific names or are the names just for retain value?

The crazy names are for retail and are called common names. They have scientific ones but imagine trying to remember those

The last pic reminds me of eagle eyes zoa. It's a pretty small polyp and looks a little bleached out, hence the white coloration. Zoas can morph colors based on the lighting. Same goes with palys as well. I once bought a colony of white palys that I thought were cool. Later on, I realized that they were just bleached out and put on a nice mottled brown color after being under halides for several weeks.

Those white ones are awesome looking. Almost dies look like there bleached
