Zoa ID

[TailspotBlenny]

I recently ordered some corals and a few look quite different than the photos. Can anyone identify this zoa?

First pic under blue dominant lighting, second under daylight. Thanks in advance for your help.

That's not much to go on. Likely either a fairy tale or a scrambled egg.

If you haven't already I'd invest in a clip on colored lens for your camera. Even it you're not particularly good at taking pics it makes a heck of a difference.

I wanted to get a few opinions without being influenced by what it was advertised to be, but I'll go ahead and say that it's supposed to be Nirvana according to the seller I purchased from. After doing more research I see that the Nirvana on different sellers websites look totally different from one another. So I guess the lighting and lens colors make a huge difference.

I'm not totally new to zoanthids, but previously purchased mostly the well known ones, and mostly purchased from LFS where I could see them before purchasing. Now I'm stocking a new tank and living in an area where buying online is my only option. So, lesson learned, I will be more careful buying zoas I'm not familiar with, or at least buy cheaper ones so I'm not risking a lot of $ if they don't look like I thought.

Thanks, I will look into those lenses. This was using iphone but I do have a regular camera I could use with some lenses.
