Zoanthid ID

[chaoticdamsel]

Can anyone tell me what kind of zoanthids these are? The pic turned out a little more pastel than reality... the centers are a darker pink/red and the skirt is more of a neon green than yellow.

Thanks! MY LFS has a really nice selection of zoa frags. They are one of my favorite corals.

Hmmm... gorgeous zoas, but I don't think that's what I have. The center points on mine are the same green/yellow as the skirt and mine don't have any blue in them.

I even checked a Zoa identification website with no luck. Hmmm... did I make a really good find of some rare zoas?

HMM..... didn't notice the ring around the edge. i think they are eagle eyes. see if the sticky at the top of this fourm has them in there.

Someone on the local marine club board I also visit agreed with your Whammin Watermelon ID. The Eagle Eye looks similar too and the description on the database said that Whammin Watermelon was a color variation of Eagle Eye, so I guess both IDs are correct. It's obviously a morph in that family of zoas. Thanks for the help!
