I'm no expert at zoa IDs... but look up fire and ice, and christmas zoas, for the last 2.

Very nice! Where'd you get them?

3rd one is not Christmas zoas, color is wrong.

I have seen them listed as "Kiwis"

No guess on the first, sorry.

I don't think the last ones are christmas, just because of those weird whiteish spots on them

Thanks! The first two are from GC reef($10 a frag) and the third from fish haven($18 a frag).

I'd like to say I got a good deal lol

The coloration isn't the best, I have them under 18watts of power compact lighting. They seem to love it! The third frag has baby blue spots, not white. It's just hard to tell.

the first resemble joker palys, the second are a fire and ice type, third are similar to what i've seen sold as gi joes. there are many, many different zoa names, and the "true" named ones have been in captivity for a while. if you purchased these from a store, they were probably collected in the wild and hence do not have the lineage to be "named" anything. you can browse coralpedia.com to get an idea of what you've got, and if you can't find anything close to it, name it yourself, Sherita can tell you about that process. It looks like you got a good deal on some very pretty zoas.

Love that place! Until Elegant opened, GC Reef really put San Antonio stores to shame

Thanks Prof, that was very informative. That would be awesome to coin a zoa name!
