Thanks Kev! The hi-res vendor pics make it look like a more teal type green. Really unique!
I have about a dozen heads in my tank, very hardy and they aren’t difficult to get your hands on.
 
Do you know the name?
Sorry it took a minute. I didn't want to tell you wrong, so I looked up the purchase.

Apparently they are og Leprechaun zoas.
 
Actually orange and green. They are Gatorade zoas.
That's what I thought too Kevin. Lol these names confuse me. And they do definitely look bluer in my tank than the original picture.

That's exactly how they look in my tank actually. Just an ole cell phone pic lol. This vendor had all of their zoas up for auction, and I guess they didn't have much of a following. I bought 10 or 12 colonies that big or bigger for less than $40. I actually felt a little bad about it.
 
I'm out for a few days as well! Heading out of the heat up north a little bit for Men's Camp. See ya all Sunday night or Monday!
 
My lfs has a 30% sale going today. They had two beautiful scolys that i was looking at. If they're still there after work, I might end up in the dog house but I may get them. Then I'll be asking you guys for advice lol
