Hi all I have these zoa's taking over my tank so I'm wondering what on earth they're called I think one is a laser lemon with a green mouth but the one with the orange mouth I can't find anywhere anyone have any idea?

The ones with the orange mouth have like burgandy/brown eyelashes but the camera on the phone is a little difficult to get to capture it perfectly

Yellow center, blue margin, green skirt?
Orange centre, lilac margin, burgandy eyelashes? /skirt? These are a couple of pics trying to get the colours right on my phone first one is closest but when the moon light comes on the lilac ring turns electric blue like the ones in the back of the first picture

Any idea?

These have a green ring but mine don't and the eyelashes are different colour too so I'm at a loss I was told they were Australian ones when I bought them years ago but the laser lemon looking ones outgrew these smaller ones they are tiny next to the other

What's annoying is that this phone makes them look violet

I think it's unlikely you're going to find a specific name for those. The description you gave is inline with a laser lemon up to the skirt which is usually green or yellow in any one of the many varieties out there. Naming is subjective and there's nothing lost in having an unnamed zoa- it doesn't diminish it in anyway. But, at the moment nothing is coming to my mind. That's not to say there might not be a name for it somewhere out there, but it then becomes a question of how widely recognized it would be.
