Petco Zoa ID?

[bubba005]

A petco near me had a coral sale and I ended up grabbing this nasty zoa frag teeming with red hair algae for $18. As I wait for my turbo to eventually clean it up, I’ve gotten really curious as to what strain it is. Under the store’s lights, it was sort of a washed out gray color, but now that it is in my frag tank, it seems like it may actually be something really special! What do y’all think?

Looks like pandora to me.

The pictures aren’t great so I see where you may get that, but I’m inclined to say that this isn’t it since I have pandoras in the same system and these guys are very distinct

Watch for Zoanthid spiders. My last petco zoanthid purchase had Zoanthid Eating Spiders. The piece turned into beautiful Zoanthids eventually though.

Maybe paydays in that case.

Trying to ID Zoas, with the ever expanding number of names, feels exhausting to me. If you like it, and the price is right, I say get it.

Very possible. These guys look a bit more yellow than what I’m seeing online but the patterns and skirt colors match
