Hy all, recently started up a small 120l tank and I found a small Zoa stuck to some of the macroalgae I got from the store.

Can anyone ID him??

Probably can't get an answer without knowing your lighting. Most zoa's need some UV/Actinic lighting to show color. Naturally all the Zoa photos you will see on the web show under good lighting conditions. If you are just using white light right now a $5 UV flashlight would show you their potential.

As an example the below Zoa's are my wife's favorite, orange oxide, when lit up with just ambient light in my room:

This is without my hand covering the Tank LEDs:
