    I don't know if I would pay that much with shipping, but I do love the colors. Hopefully it's pretty close to the real thing. Congrats on your new coral and happy family. :)

    Look like fire and ice plus some green bay packers, common but beautiful.

    Thats what I do,hold off,then order enough to make free shipping,i'm a cheapo like that,lol.

    As far as the zoas go,they are worth whatever you are willing to spend.But,I also agree they are photo enhanced common zoas although the pic sure looks sweet,they can usually be found for much cheaper than that and I would not count on them looking that nice in your tank.The shipping cost would be the big killer for me on this deal,however,if I walked in a lfs and they looked that good,then yes I might pay the asking price.

    Another consideration with zoas (and even many other corals),is even if the pic isn't touched up,your lighting and parameters vs. theirs can cause them to morph or not look the same in your tank.
