I picked this Zoa/Paly up this weekend at a local Frag Swap and was too dang enamored and excited to the get it for $20 that I completely forgot the name of it when the gentleman at the booth told me. It is not an Utter Chaos, I have a full colony already, but it looks more like a "reversed" version of it. It is black, dark black and has red swirls that are not uniformed, unlike red or purple people eater. I noticed that it does have that distinctive green People Eater mouth. It is also very, very big. You can see a regular zoa (Jurassic Park zoa) on the left, which is the size of pretty much all other 80+ zoa varieties I have. This thing is approx. 0.75" to 1.00" (19.05mm - 25.4mm) in diameter.

I've taken a more close up shot and cleaned it up a bit. These are the true colors I see under blue light. I used a Sony A7ii with a 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens and a Tiffen 6785B 67mm 85B Filter.
