Interesting! I was a little skeptical since gold dust zoas look more like Pandora’s but apparently Vivid’s Aquariums’ gold dust looks different. Definitely the same type of pattern but the colors are severely muted compared to mine. The babies look similar but the adult looks very different from mine
Yea there so bright
Little worried about the skirts though. Either they’re not 100% open or something’s eating the skirts. Looks like they’re not fully open
Yea me zoas have been only half opening lately
I do have some flatworms that could be annoying them.
I have them and mine look more similar to yours than their pictures... when I bought them last year they had different pictures of them but I can’t find them any more ):Interesting!

Can you take pictures of yours? I’d love to see!
Very pretty! These are a great match except for the teeny tiny detail that the purple center extends a tiny bit further than mine. I’m not sure mine is an adult polyp yet so it may very well be this. Thank you!Hmmmm maybe a morph of the NY Reef Gold Shlagger ones?
Pink speckled middle, yellow ring, greenish skirt.
I think @Mateusz was also selling one! But no idea where he got it. (I high-key want it)Very pretty! These are a great match except for the teeny tiny detail that the purple center extends a tiny bit further than mine. I’m not sure mine is an adult polyp yet so it may very well be this. Thank you!
Edit: It looks like only NY reef has this color morph available? If that’s true I’ll just make up a fake name that’s a mash up of all the close IDs so far since both the gold schlagger and Vivid’s gold dust only come from that retailer specifically and I can’t resell them under “NYRA Gold Schlagger” with a clear conscience because that’s not where I got em from
But that one doesn’t look like it has any green! That’s actually the one I found first when I looked for other Gold Schlaggers. I’ve ordered from Mateusz before, nice zoas and they were very healthy upon arrival. Colors slightly differed from the pictures but nothing extreme and it was probably just a difference in lighting. I also managed to snag one of the true yellow hammers and it’s a beauty!I think @Mateusz was also selling one! But no idea where he got it. (I high-key want it)
Maybe it doesn’t have a specific lineage???
I’ve ordered from him before too! I think with this picture the green is very very faint but I can still kinda see it? Yours is definitely a lot brighter!
Mine is definitely a pretty lime green color, not that washed out sort of sea foam tinker bell green. It’s only a very slight difference and I think it may be the same zoa that just morphed the shade of green a little bit due to differences in lighting or water chemistry which is very common! I’ll let it sit for a couple months then update this thread again to see if it morphs because I have only had it for about a week. We shall see!
