New Zoa...I think a first of it's kind.

[Teeb]

Thanks to R2U, I was able to score this IMO incredible frag of zoas. I have never seen anything quite a like them. Has anyone seen these or anything similar before?

I'm debating submitting them to coralpedia and want to make sure these are not something that have been in the hobby before.

[Europhyllia]

Nice hopefully they'll keep their color!

[txg8gxp]

Very cool, I like them.

[stoneroller]

Better get some spread around, like in Buda!! Very nice. I haven't seen such...

[stoneroller]

Were there any more?

[Teeb]

No, he was only able to get this one frag. Trust me, I tried.

[kkiel02]

You need to think of a name in case they are new!

[Mr Cob]

Sweet. You should submit it to Zoaid.com

[Teeb]

Any ideas on names?

[StevenSeas]

sweet looking zoas, I vote something like nebula zoas or something similar outta this world like, some sorta explosion or somethin

[Europhyllia]

Really? With those soft colors they make me think more of candy.
Teebwater Cotton Candys or something

Keep in mind in this hobby buyers are still mostly young males so something with explosion/space aliens/cartoon stuff should go over well... ;)

[StevenSeas]

just did a quick google image search of nebula.... But i do like cotton candy

[Europhyllia]

Lol. I was just thinking I like the Nebula actually. Or something else star related. Northern Lights, Borealis

[BIGBIRD123]

How about "Bedroom Eyes"....

[ramsey]

Supernovas! I think they look more like a supernova than a nebula.

Cotton Candy Supernovas

[Regric25]

Cotton Candy Supernovas FTW!

[ReefCube]

call them TeeB

[allan]

You know that nebula that is called the cat's eye or or Cat Eye The colors aren't exactly right but it's similar with the soft edges between the colors... or is the sombrelo nebula?

I googled the Cat Eye Nebula and you're right! I do see the resemblance! I stand by my original name though, Cotton Candy Supernova's. Rolls nicely off the tongue.

[Teeb]

I do like yours Ramsey. I check out the Cat Eye Nebula, the pictures of that are amazing.

[ballardjr2000]

I think Gamma Ray Burst Zoos sound cool looks like when a gamma Ray burst happens in space just my thought but the cotton candy supernova is cool also

[ZeroHour]

Vanilla sky zoa

[Kristy]

The colors reminded me of a gas flame on the stove...

[allan]

"gas stove zoes"

Uh...

"flame under the pan zoes"

Hmmm...

"flame of the natural gas zoes"

Hm... (tapping chin thoughtfully)

"cookin with Kristy zoas"

Ah...

I don't know Kristy, sounds too kitcheny. ;-). I'd like to refer to Karin's earlier post about a male dominated hobby. :D

Ooh...
"flame of the BBQ grill zoas"

Okay, the intent is there but entirely too much use of the word "flame".

I guess I'd have to toss my vote (if permitted one) with the cotton candy zoas which allows just enough of a soft side to the male personna as to not offend the true males here... Besides we all love cotton candy, once in a while... Never in public.

How about "Gas Flame Vanilla BBQ Cat Nebula Cotton Candy Supernova Teeb Zoas"? :bigsmile:

That's the kind of name that you could test sobriety with.

[Mrs. z28pwr]

Sweet find! I took a good look at them when they were at r2u the skirt looked white. I think you should wait a little while before you name them, it looks like they are coloring up. It looks a little like a pink elephant morph.... They are awsome looking!!! Tinker Bell Palythoas....thats my vote!!!

[Mrs. z28pwr]

kinda looks like this:

[Europhyllia]

agree with MRs z28pwr. They look like they'll color up. Wait and show us an updated pic in a couple of weeks.

[Teeb]

Updated pics. I saw a new polyp start to form this week. They're definitely slow growers. The colors for the most part are staying. The polyps that get direct light seem to get "bluer" where the ones with less light get more purple.
