    Got some new zoas opening up nicely, but do they have names? or do i jsut keep calling them "blue and green" or "blue and orange"?

    Ive checked on the coral database but they dont seem to match up to any :(

    lol yer I guess I can name them myself then. Corals I buy here are all taken from a farm in the great barrier reef, towards the northern most point. The boats take about 3 hours to get out there and are allow to only take from a small section. The corals usually never have names on them :(

    They should be called "Professor X" zoas.


    BTW....I will expect a footnote in the naming. ;-0

    Name the green ones shamrocks. You can send in your pics to zoaid.com and they will check if these are named already. If there not you get to name them for future reference in their database.

    Yep, I am not a fan of naming zoanthids.

    I name them by their colors. So Orange tentacled with cream X centers and Green tentacles with cream X centers.
