Zoa ID Please (w/photo)

Hello All,

I picked up this frag of scrambled eggs from an online retailer and just noticed one zoa polyp is not like the others. Lol. Could someone be able to identify this purple colored zoa? Thx!

Need a better pic, but looks like it could be Milky Way. Mine has both light blue and light purple faces for whatever reason.

Interesting. Here is another photo. I’m using my iPhone so taking photos isn’t too easy. lol. Let me know your thoughts!

Well, here's one of my purple faces, also taken with a phone ('Droid). Half-green skirt, yellowish mouth, mottled purple face.

Looks similar to me. You decide.

That’s your milky way? That looks pretty darn close to mine. I asked the retailer and they think it could be a nirvana that snuck on the plug. Lol.

That's the Milky Way. I'm looking at images of the Nirvana and the look is similar but not quite the same. There's definitely no blue ring on the skirt of the Milky Way, the purple is paler, and the mottling is much more distinct than on the Nirvana, more galaxy-looking.

But you can see your Zoa better than I so you'll have to decide.

Try googling Nirvana and if that's what you have.
