What am I? Zia ID

[Mnmbrix]

Hi Everyone! I’m new here but was hoping you could help me ID. Got live rock with a bubble tip and didn’t know this baby was on the other side. Could anyone help me figure out what Zoa this is?

Looks like a palythoa.

Thank you! Do they have their own ID as well for different colorings or is a Palythoa the specific name?

There may well be a specific brand/trade name, but offhand I don't know it.

Definitely Zoanthus, not Palythoa. Tentacles are thick and have blunt ends.

The closest I can find in color is fire and ice this little zoa doesn’t want to be named lol

It’s a nice little zoa but you’re unlikely to find a specific widely-recognized name for that as it’s of a variety that’s generally imported as ‘assorted.’

Fire and ice is a bucket of several dozen strains that are red and blue. I think that’s a pretty safe ID for that guy.
