Zoa identification?

[captain spork]

It was advertised as yellow submarine but it doesn’t look like it. Cost $13

I agree. Looks more like Bella Donnas to me maybe?

Wwc reused ‘yellow submarines’ name somewhat recently. Those are the outlier as they’re green and yellow.

This type has been called yellow submarines, belladonnas, Vulcans blood (tsa). Any one of those three and people will know what you’re talking about.

Bob Marley to me. But your color on the pic is rather blurry

Missing the orange ring that Bob Marleys have.

Yeah upon a second look the center isn’t close either as it appears a light blue. Can you tell me what these are I found them in I think it was an article write up but there was no name.

 

[ShanePike]

Not sure about those. They don't look familiar, and a search didn't turn up anything

I found the article that picture is from:

Quote from the article:

Throughout the years of my practice in shooting zoanthids, I’ve experimented with various color gels, photographic filters, and post-production techniques to isolate the fluorescent pigments present in their tissue.

So sadly not the normal colors of that zoa. It would be cool if they included a pic of what we see with our eye, but sadly so such luck.

Yes this was the article i was reading. I grabbed that pic in hopes of comparing it against a bunch of identity charts and I couldn’t come up with anything. Who knows how manipulated that photo is but I didn’t think it appeared that bad for a zoa. I was wrong lol

That’s a pretty juiced pic of a whaming watermelon, jf jungle juice or an eagle eye type. Some are def nicer than others but unlikely anything really looks like that irl.

However, there’s a strain called ‘reverse Rastas’ which will get you 85% of the way there.
