What is this Zoa?

[OldRed1]

Can someone help identify what this Zoa is? I have included a photo of the zoa under blue light and under white light. Thanks!

Bump!

Any way you can get the photo from a different angle?

 

[OldRed1]

Does this help?

With millions of different kinds of Zoa it's really hard to tell. Best I can say is "I want" Zoe lol

Lois like some type of green palythoa due to the stalks

Definitely looks like a Paly to me, but never seen one so white under white light (the blue is probably just the white paly reflecting the blue LED light).

I think you should name them... White Walker Palys!

Here are some additional photos in case it helps...

This is the coral with the light pointed away from the tank, directed to the adjacent wall.

This is a closer photo of the "zoas" under blue light.

This is a closer photo of the "zoas" under blue light through an orange filter.

When disturbed, the "zoas" close as such:

these look somewhat similar to my white zombies the lighting is throwing it off though i think.

Zoa doesn’t have stalks like that. Palythoa does

Closed zoa in front vs closed palythoa in the back

Looks to me like either nuclear green or baby pink paly - the change in lighting in pics makes it hard to determine

they’re 100% hawaiian, that, i am certain of…

just can’t tell if they’re people eaters, ding dangs or this other hawaiian that was popular back in 2017 that i don’t remember the name or right now

They look the same as mine. They were sold to me at my LFS as Hawaiian Zoa.

A lot of zoas mistakenly get called palys due to size. @encrustingacro has been fighting this fight for awhile now and dishing up the correct zoa species. They could likely help you out there.

As for trade names its likely a Hawaiian People Eater (PE), Ding Dang, Yeti or something of that ilk. Without any sort of distinguishing characteristic any more specific ID beyond that is just guessing. These guys, like the agave family, have a tendency to vary greatly in presentation based on aquarium parameters.
