I got some new Zoa today and my wonderful wife got me an orange lense for Christmas. You guys have tried to help me before but it was too blue. So Zoa experts, what name do these go by? Thanks!!

edit: multiple pics attached. Some are of the same colony!

@footgal
1 looks like fire and ice
2 looks like radioactive dragons eye
3 I can’t remember!!!
Dang you’re getting good!

1- Fire and ice
2- radioactive dragon eye
3- fruit loops
4- Fire and ice with dragon eyes
5- maybe crybaby? Hard to tell with the zoas half closed like that. The green ones are probably Green Bay packers but it’s not a great pic

Thank you so much! I’m so happy to have names for these dudes. I’ve got two polyps of white zombies that are refusing to open after a recent tank move too. Dude was going out of business so I got them for 5$! Hoping they open up and thrive.

Hopefully they’ll be okay! Are they half-open or fully closed? If they weren’t doing well in their original tank, I’d do a H2O2 dip just in case there’s nudis or spiders attacking them. The dip will also get rid of any algae that may be irritating the zoas. Best of luck to you with em!

They’re kind of half open. I can see some of the color of the bell but they look like a deep red on the outside. I’m not sure if they’re bruised or if that’s algea growing on them.

If you look with your phone flashlight on really close, you should be able to see a thin green film if there's algae bothering them. Excessive algae on the plug could also be an indicator that they are becoming annoyed due to algae. If you find this to be true, brush the plug (not the zoas) gently with a toothbrush (toothbrush may be dipped in H2O2 solution to further kill algae) and follow up with a 1 minute dip. That should take care of any algae problems you're having, if you have them
