Can someone help identify what this Zoa is? I have included a photo of the zoa under blue light and under white light. Thanks!

With millions of different kinds of Zoa it's really hard to tell. Best I can say is "I want" Zoe lol

Here are some additional photos in case it helps...

This is the coral with the light pointed away from the tank, directed to the adjacent wall.

This is a closer photo of the "zoas" under blue light.

Looks to me like either nuclear green or baby pink paly - the change in lighting in pics makes it hard to determine

A lot of zoas mistakenly get called palys due to size. @encrustingacro has been fighting this fight for awhile now and dishing up the correct zoa species. They could likely help you out there.

As for trade names its likely a Hawaiian People Eater (PE), Ding Dang, Yeti or something of that ilk. Without any sort of distinguishing characteristic any more specific ID beyond that is just guessing. These guys, like the agave family, have a tendency to vary greatly in presentation based on aquarium parameters.
