LFS had it for 10 bucks figured I could give it a shot and not kill my wallet if it didn't work out.

So far heads have opened so I am encouraged, but i have no idea what it is.

Lol! I was commenting more on the fact that I've got a $1000 Nikon dslr and I seem to take better pics with my phone. Your zoas look, to me, like some I have that I could never ID either. I posted to keep track of what the community came up with so I would know as well.

Hey dude, I have those. The skirt, is it green?

They should get nice and fleshy. I used to know the name, but I forgot.

I'd call them "Brown with orange mouth" for now, because that's all they look like. Give them time to hopefully color up and then see if they match the name that some of the "naming fanatics" have given.

They are pretty common, but I rarely see them in the LFS.

No, they come from the ocean, through the distributors to the LFS all over, and finally into our tanks. They didn't come from here.

This what those will look like soon enough. I'm like the dude above, I don't keep up well with the names although I try. Used to know the name of the zoa though... Long time ago.

there isn't a lot of suppliers for Coral and fish that stores use so they all get the same stuff a lot of times. I've worked and few stores and pop in and out of them from here to Austin and see a lot of the same stuff especially zoa rocks. especially when the whole sales marks them down all the stores order them and some frag them up. I've seen them before I'll look for the couple sites that have diff names for them.
