Hi team,

Just your average zoa lover here. Hey, I see this photo all the time online, looks sick right?

Can anybody identify the orange zoa with the purple lashes on it? I LOVE these, but can't find them anywhere.

Bonus points: If you can name them all, I'd love that too. There's a couple of zoas on here I definitely want lol

@fishguy242 wow so many !!! I like so many of them I couldn’t begin put a list together of what I like. Check out Queen of Reef on YouTube. She put together a big cluster of zoas arranged by complementary colors and the psychology behind complementary colors. Simply amazing. Super pop. When certain colors are placed next to each other they really bring out the best.

Left to right (as best I can)
Twizzlers
tinker bell
candy apple red
radioactive dragon eyes
fire and ice
(orange and blue I dont know one like that but I know a lot of red and blue) afterburners= blue with orange lash, spiderman=red with blue lash
fruit loops
super saiyan (or super sunflower)
candy apple red
fire and ice
super saiyan
OG dragon eyes
more tinkerbell
maybe mandarin orange? They're blurry
last ones might be morphed out or photoshopped rainbow infusions (they do not look like that irl but I agree with other people here they they are pretty close). These look similar to the ones OP originally wanted an ID for but if you look really closely they have a small bit of green which the ones in the center lack, they could still be the same zoa though.
small colony on the bottom = scrambled eggs

Happy reefing yall!

if you look closely at the lashes, they are not purple but baby blue cb moneyshot/hyper jubilee
I thought the same thing, maybe the lashes were blue not purple… but even orange with blue lashes I can’t seem to find

Someone who knows their Zoas! Thanks for the reply, I really think you got those all right.

After some thought, I’m actually wondering if these are just orange plays (maybe hooligans, sunny D’s??) and the photo is way enhanced… like saturation times 1,000%... and so the skirt looks blue or purple. Am I on to something? Haha

Probably lol, I was thinking that the photo is really oversaturated :)

any ideas how they get their zoas to look as amazing like that. also how do you get your zoas to have that lovely glow effect colour during the daytime lights as I find daytime lights on colours are dull it's only when nighttime blue light is on you get to see the lovely colours. my tank is the flyval evo 52l stock light that I'm using.

I use an AI Prime HD to get the nice colors. Check it out on my build thread!
