Bought a couple zoas...

So I bought a couple zoas today. The first one he said it was a no name aussie zoa. Second one was definitely mislabeled. Can anyone help me with these two?

Second one looks like a Hawaiian PE/Ding Dang.

The first one is similar to Nirvana, but the face is different.

I agree that nirvana and ding Dangs are the best matches, but the first ones are super gorgeous!! I’m willing to bet theyll morph with time

I'm not convinced the first one is a nirvana morph though the colors line up. Is it a smaller sized polyp? I'll def be interesting to see what they do over time. Specifically if they maintain that intense radial barring or whether that breaks up.

I have some nirvanas also and the polyp size and look are no where near the same. The nirvana is much larger.

They have the appearance of, if not micros, then certainly some thing like awesome blossoms. If they're that really small size I'd suggest spot feeding with reefroids or a reefroids-like product. Smaller polyps, especially micros, struggle to get enough nutrients in my experience.
