    Anyone know what it is called? I know it is a Zoa but the LFS ower didnt know. It has two different types on it light blueish and orange.

    Seems to be doing just fine

    Some type of zoa. Don't know specifically. There are way to many types to really keep track of. Care is the same for all though.
    Good score though dude, its definitely a more unique strain with that coloration.

    Beautiful little piece. I that zoas are often one of those animals that require genetic testing to determine specific species. Usually they are referred to by a convenient common name like "Dragon's Eyes," or "Gorilla Nipples." Maybe you can make up a name.
