They are real close,but the Heaven's Mistress has more blue in the center.Now I want both.


I've seen the pink elephants look the same, just depends on the lighting, I definitely agree with twon on this one...


also, why are there 347 repeat zoos on zoaid but every time I submit a new one I have to argue past the "it almost looks like this other one that's a different color and pattern"? is that only like an argument for vendors, or does everyone get the argument except the guys posting up frags that are completely identical to frags already posted? just pointlessly venting :)

hey there!

twon8: good call!!! we missed that one! i'll bring that up and get it corrected.

organism: heh, i know yer just messin and i take no offense or anything, but just wanted to point out that we try to prevent this, especially submissions newer than ~ 3/2006 (when ZoaID formed the council to review these things, heh!). but they do still slip by.

when the site first started and there were 20 named zoas, duplicates were easy to spot. now, when someone makes a new submission, we have to glance through all 200+ zoas on the site, interpolate possible ambiguous morphs, discuss it amongst ourselves and w/ the submitter, then make the posting. (assuming the submitter met all critera of course! flash shot, not photochopped, etc.)

one of the latest is eagly eye vs. whamin' watermelon. i've seen both, and they're different, but where do you draw the line? :lol:

BUT -- when you find things like this, please feel free to contact us (pm here, rc, or the contact us link on ZoaID, wherever!) and let us know! sometimes were slow acting (it's not our day jobs after all), but we've yet to ignore an issue! :D

at any rate, i hope that doesn't sound like a soapbox speech as it was meant to sound more as an 'fyi'. :D

blue zoas to all,
-Who Dah?

whodah, no worries man, you know I like to bust on people ;)

that said, maybe you could do a survey or something to grind down some of the duplicates, I think if you posted up to an outside group (say, a forum dedicated to zoos, wink wink nudge nudge) to put their opinions of which zoos look like duplicates, it might help to whittle them down into groups, that way you could have the main morph, such as "fire and ice", and the rest of the "aka's" of what they'd look like under different lighting

just my 2 cents :)

Say whatever you want, but as long as Whodah keeps dropping uber sexy terms like :
interpolate possible ambiguous morphs
-Who Dah?

he's alright by me !! :)


I'm telling you Jeremy, give the guys/gals at ClubZoa 48 hours with your catalog of morphs, and they'll weed out all duplicates with no prob.

Peace, Bryan

hard to get all the duplicates out as different lights make corals look totaly different...almost need to put them in to lighting sub sections.....
