I see lots of zoas called "red" something, but they are really orange or red-ish orange. I am looking for true red zoas, true blue (besides Tubbs Blue) and true yellow ones. Skirt color doesn't matter. Any suggestions? Thanks!

My truest yellow are King Midas. I have a few others, but that one takes the cake in my tank/lighting. Scrambled egg would be a weak second.

My most blue ones are AOIs, but has a yellow/green center so may not be what you're looking for.

My reds are all over and no full true red. Sorry, can't help there.

I have the midas and another that is yellow and pink. No idea on name. I have three types of blues and they are each a bit different. I have some ice blue also. Reds, I will have to re look. Not sure if I have any true red ones.
Best you can do is keep an eye out. Maybe frag shows will start up soon. :)

Why "besides Tubbs blues"? Aside from some starfish and sponges, they are the bluest blue I've seen in an aquarium.

Makes sense. They are always a must have for me. A large colony is such a striking blue color, even under whiter lights (which I prefer).
I prefer whiter lights too. That's what makes this hard, because every photo I ever see is under blues.

Those are great! Thanks for the pictures. I guess the first must be scrambled eggs. What is the second one?
The red zoas are Twizzlers.

My tank gets 5 hours of MH which looks pretty white.
It also gets 10 hours of XHO Reef Brite actinic, which is when
the zoas really pop. That’s when the tank looks like a black
light poster.
