So I got zoas from a guy he said they are rainbow infusion, JF Daisy cutter, rainbow hornet zoa, pink diamond, fruit loops, JF mind blowing palys, and JF crazy lady or magician? Just wanting to see what you guys think these zoas are? I know some aren’t opened up and that could be some of the names I listed. If you could going from the top being #1 to bottom let me know what zoa you all think they are. Also in pictures 3 and 4 u can just say “pic 3 zoa is…” Thanks!

All those colors are washed out too much to really give a good guess. All of those are fairly popular Zoas, have you looked them up to compare? Is there a reason you don't trust the seller?

What do you mean washed out too much to tell? Or I guess I should ask how? Yes I have looked them up and no i trust the seller, I got some extra cardinalfish and Chromis for free and traded for 8 different zoa frags atleast 3 heads on each frag. Thought it was a pretty good trade in my book almost too good to be true that’s why I was just wondering if this is what they looked like.

I meant that it's really hard to see the colors on the zoa pictures. All of the colors seem to blend together making it very difficult to ID them. I'm not sure what can be done. Usually the problem is too much blue which is a fairly easy fix. Maybe these have too much white light? Try to take pictures that really represent the colors on the Zoas. I know it's difficult but it'll make IDing them possible?

Sorry, I'm not that great at Zoa IDs - there are so many variables. Daisy Cutters are usually easy to ID based on their "design". Number 4 looks right on that polyp that's open top right. That last picture you posted almost looked like Twizzlers but the lashes are wrong. @footgal is one of the better zoa IDers so I paged her. Hopefully she can help you out. I could see those second ones being the Mind Blowing Palys. After further review they're probably not the Fruit Loops - the lashes are wrong. Are they the bigger frag (last two pictures)?
