No frills zoa

GHOSTLY · Jul 9, 2021

So I bought some zoas 8 heads and I thought they were closed. I’ll be back home soon but I noticed all of them are teal, frill less. Anyone have zoas with no frills at all?

Frills? Are you referring to tentacles, perhaps? You might want to give them more time to fully open as I have never heard of any corals without tentacles.

Picture?

What are we talking about here, short nubs or points where the tentacles should be? Or literally a smooth round disc?

Pictures would be good, yes

Yeah, this I gotta see. A good photo, in focus, in whiter light, and, if possible macro, would be great!

I can confirm its fully open. It closes tight to the touch and has NO frills whatsoever. A round disk

In the film industry, we had a saying, "If it's not on camera, it didn't happen".

On the internet we say “pics or it didn’t happen.”
I’m not correcting you. I’m pointing out to OP that it’s universal.

Let's see these magic discs

If you look closely in real life you can see those small SMALL little nubs but other than that they are very rounded

GHOSTLY · Jul 11, 2021

Not completely round but one is. They are odd, don’t ya think

Townes_Van_Camp · Jul 11, 2021

Take care of those, gets some frags. Post here as an oddity. Make money.

Do these look normal in any way or did I get Lucky?

I’m not an expert in any way. To be honest I think they are just partially open. That the little nubbins you see will fully extend as typical zoa fringe when it’s happy. But if it’s happy and adding polyps while maintaining color while never extending its fringe, you got lucky. But don’t count on it. Hopefully a zo expert will chime in here.

A actually just ordered some from aquasd that I hope will look simular. The smaller "frills" is what made me interested in them.

I thought so too but when you touch it they close into a tight zoa ball. These are fully open as they are taking to feeding and you can see the mouth and the edge of the skirt
