JK lol.No, LOL, Zoa what is a Zoa and Poly fanatic.
I saw this mesmerizing picture multiple times, but can not figure out what zoas are used here. This picture is one of the main reasons I got into the reef aquarium hustle. Can someone name the varieties on this picture, ple-e-e-ase?Most don't have palytoxin and fast growth means they make $$. The colorful wanted varieties are not really that invasive since they tend to just bud off the mother colony.
They also look crazy beautiful when placed next to each other due to contrasting colors.

Cool chart, I might have to copy that :|Palytoxin is a non issue as long as your not ingesting the slime they produce. Ive been handling them for a long time without issues and just wash my hands after. That said zoas come in every color of the rainbow and are hardier than most corals. So they bring some great colors to the aquarium without as much worry for them dying.

I think the photo was edited to increase saturation which messed with the colors a little. I tried!On the main group of colonies,
-At the bottom, all light green center with green/yellow skirt - radioactive dragon eyes
-Bright green center with blue mouth, purple ring and then red skirt - candy apple green
-Above and below the candy apple green with blue mouth, orang-ish ring and bright yellow skirt - eagle eyes
-All the way to the right with bright red center and bright yellow skirt - dragon eyes / original dragon eyes
-Right next to those, a few zoas with blue center and red skirt - fire and ice
Maybe someone else can help with the rest.
@footgal can you help out?
Thanks!I think the photo was edited to increase saturation which messed with the colors a little. I tried! View attachment 2395989

To Just John and footgal: Thank you VERY much! After 2 years of trying to reproduce this collection in my aquarium I got only 2 of zoas right. And GSP. Hunting for the rest online right now. Will tell my husband that is it an early Christmas gift from him to me. Thank you very much again!I think the photo was edited to increase saturation which messed with the colors a little. I tried!

It’s like the definition of a weed is a plant out of place. One man’s weed is another man’s plant!okay, i understand, but what separates a zoa spreading from something like a kenya tree spreading? why is one a pest and the other enjoyed? ( I don't mean to say zoas are bad, im just looking for some perspectives, thanks for all the responses so far everyone!)
"A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for growing in rows"It’s like the definition of a weed is a plant out of place. One man’s weed is another man’s plant!
To be honest, we didn’t even realize they had palytoxin until we got ours into the tank. Handled them with our hands and they have been doing fine. We have 4. I wasn’t a HUGE fan of them, but now that we have some and I see their coloration under the light, I am super happy with them. They’re gorgeous and have lots of fun colors to collect! Our next one is going to be the radioactive dragon eye hahaI hear they can grow pretty fast, and have palytoxin. I don't understand why they are super popular given those facts, But im perfectly willing (and wanting) to hear some else view on the matter
(Please don't get SALTY (pun intended) this is just my view, I never said it was a fact or you need to think the same way)
I think that zoas are one of the most attractive looking corals. I don't see the point of SPS corals myself, they grow slowly so you have to buy them big, they're harder to look after and the majority of them just look like twigs.I hear they can grow pretty fast, and have palytoxin.
