Ooohhhhh ahhhhh

you have an amazing collection! I would love if you shared more pics, and I would assume I'm not alone.

It seems you really know your zoas so I will post one here for an ID. Once I have it I'll remove the part of the post

What is this?

Sorry for the derail..

Haha, no problem Loki, and thanks for the compliment. You can leave it on here, I don't mind! Seems more like a friendly thread that way anyways.

I'm pretty sure those are Sunny D's. They look just like mine and even have the white speckles on the skirts. But there's so many rainbows going around it's hard to tell. Did you get them as a wild or from a fellow hobbyist?

I got them at MACNA from ********** booth. They were not part of their stock and I bought them directly from a guy working the booth. Honestly I am kind of confused as to their origin, because the conversation I had with him to talk him out of them was lengthy lol

.

He said "Rainbow" and "those aren't for sell" so it took a while but you see where they are lol

Agh, I wanted to go to MACNA for some awesome corals! Haha, bringing corals to MACNA and not for sale? Nonsense! Should have left it at home then!

If you don't mind me asking, I'm really curious what happens when you buy corals at MACNA, how do you take it home?

If those were mine, I'd comfortably call them Sunny D's. They sure look like it to me, but there are a few morphs of Sunny D's going around. Both are the same to me though.

Here's 3 pictures of Sunny D's I have, all three coming from different locals to my area. The first two look the same while the last one has more green in the center, looking more like yours. All are Sunny D's from what I know though and are similar enough that I'd just call them Sunny D and people would agree.

Most likely like yours:

Heck ask anything I don't mind

I live a 6 hour drive away from Dallas so I took a 24 JBJ and set it up in my hotel room. Once I got something I took it to the room and put it in the tank. Then bagged it all up and headed home.

Wow they do look very similar indeed. Does the size of the polyp matter? Mine are quite large, almost the size of a nickel I'd say and that's not including the skirt.

I think he got them at MACNA or something. But I completely agree. They were hidden in the tank behind some loc line

LOL! You brought a nano? That's hardcore!
As for polyp size, it varies on your lighting. They can get small, like the top 2 morphs or can get large. The one in the 3rd picture is about dime sized, a fairly large paly. More light will usually make them smaller.

Here's a few more pictures, some of which I no longer have, before I call it a night. :xd:

Heck yeah I took a tank

I brought back some cool stuff! I was worried that the tank wouldn't be big enough. It ended up being sufficient lol

As cute as Ebola or small pox eh?... You sure he's not as cute as... a Wes Nile Virus? Hahaha. How is the white PE doing for you? I saw Wade's post of his Whites and they look a lot different than mine.
