First Coral(continued)

Does anyone know the name of this type of Zoa???

 

Don't know name. But very pretty piece.

 

looks like a species of Zoanthus Sociatus.

 

As fas ar naming goes, that's entirely up to you. You can name it whatever the hell you want. The more grandiose the name is the more you can command per polyp. So get those creative juices flowing.

If it were me, I think I'd run with Reacharound Tweaked Baboon Nipples in the Glistening Dewey Valley and fetch me $12 per polyp.

Congrats on hitting the lottery!

 

One thing regarding the type and color of the zoanthus, parazoanthus, protopalythoa, palythoa, acrozoanthus, or isaurus, light will often influence the color of the coral. Under intense lighting the color may in fact become more vibrant, grow faster, or become a different color all together!
It seems that some of the most expensive types of polyps are purple, blue, black and red with various contrasting colors and patterns associated with them for the most part!
Take a look at Purple People Eaters and Purple Death's and Tubb's Blue zo's

LOL ok, now I'll play a customer.

"um I see you have these polyps. I am a collecter of these rare beauties and I would very much like to own one. Can you please take a picture of each polyp and measure them too? You can forward all the pictures to me and data in a spreadsheet. I want to make sure I am getting my money's worth. I will make it worth your time I promise. Also, can you do something on price? I saw some somewhere else and they were only $11.75 each. How many do I want you ask? Oh, I only want one. Thanks, looking forward to the pictures."

LOL.
