Just brought home a zoa I have never seen or heard of before, but before i describe it let me give the background so that no one pulls the "well it's just bleached" line.
About a month ago a local shop i help out at got in some brand new imported corals (wild harvested), among them was a very interesting mini colony of zoa that had a green mouth and skirt, but a brilliant white ring (about 3mm thick) on the head. Assuming these corals were just bleached I set them to acclimate, each time I check them though I saw nothing but growth, new polyps appeared which all had the same exact coloration, a green skirt, a bright, clean, white ring, and a green mouth. Right now I am slowly acclimating them to my tank and will be waiting for them to open up, as soon as possible I will have pictures to share though!
If anyone has any idea what it may be based upon the description let me know!
EDIT: assuming after I post it no one has a name for it, I'm going to call them Evergreen Halos :P
