Zoa ID

[BytheSea]

I've been looking at Zoa.id and think this is Sweet Pinks...

 

I'm thinking Zombie Eye for this one...

 

 

What do you experts think?

Not an expert but I'll see what I can do.

Your first pic is a bit washed out but if I had to take a stab at it I would go with:

Twilight Pink

The reason I went with twilight pink over Sweet Pinks was because the skirt color on Sweet pinks are grey/white, while yours are more brown/khaki. Then again, you are there in person, so you would know better.

 

If they aren't Zombie eyes then they may be either

Gorilla Nipples:

Here are mine: (BTW, do the palys to the right of the gorilla nips look like the ones in your first pic?)

 

Or Pink Panthers:

Here are mine:

 

The reason I went with those two over the was because yours do not have the distinctive blue ring around the mouth area. Tough call on both of those, but they sure do look like they are doing well in your tank! Nice work.

Ficklefins... Thank for your reply!

 

The first pic is the actual color, they are a very light color, not washed out. You are correct that the skirts are brown (light). They could be the Twilight Pink, but the centers are a lot different then mine. My have the purple hints in them like the Sweet Pinks.

 

The second pic I don't think are Gorrilla Nipples (what a name), the center is much too bright. The center in mine are a lighter pink color. It's a possibility they are Pink Panters, but still the centers look different. You are right again, mine don't have the distintive purple ring.

 

The above is just my observation, not putting your Id's down. I'm just trying to get a positive ID.

 

Thanks for your compliments!

I don't take offense to someone telling me I'm wrong, I only get surprised when I hear that I'm right! Try taking a few more pics. I'm not very good at taking pics through the glass so I put my zoas really high up in my tank and take pictures from the top down. So much easier this way as long as you turn your powerheads off. Good luck

I'm not saying your wrong either, I could be the one wrong.

 

 

Any more opinions out there?

[BytheSea]

BUMP!... With all the "Zoa nuts" here, no one else has any opinions!

Still looking for a postive Id

If you didn't buy it as a specific zoanthid then I would avoid trying to label it as such, because pictures never do the colors justice.
