are these dragon fire zoas?
I got these zoas on trade and wanted to verify the name
I looked on the coralpedia website, but the only thing I found that looked similar was dragon fire. I just wanted to get everybody's opinion What are the orange zoas? |

ok so I have been doing some thinking I found this pic and think these are the closest resemblance to the zoas. what do you guys think? They are orange delight. and have the kind of yellow mouth that mine do.

Please don't take this wrong 650-IS350. I am all for constructive criticism, but I did take the time to go through those links, read the sticky in the forum and google. Your first link its useless. there are 60 palys/zoas nothing looks remotely close to the original pic that I posted. Sorry, I should have been more specific. The last picture I posted was actually from coralpedia.com. I was asking what people thought of the deduction that I came up with from viewing the whole coralpedia website. I am by no means a zoa/paly pro. Hense this thread. I am sorry it seems that I am just posting without taking the time to look for myself, but that is your assumption. I actually did take the time to search, but I came up blank.So posting those links again is not going to help me. I need opinions so that I can deduce an answer. I am hoping that someone has seen these before. Even that last pic is different. My zoas are tan not yellow. I realize they could be a morph, but I am trying to understand what is in my tank and learn from those who are kind enough to share from their experience in the hobby. Thanks for taking the time to look at my post though.

shiogama, I have to agree that those web sites are limited for ID's. I've got your back 100%.

They're still stressed and the true colors are there. The green/yellowish dot will be more pronounced in the center. It'll develop more spotting design in the circle around the mouth and disc.
http://www.coralpedia.com/index.php?...g2_itemId=4395 or possiblity that yes it can morph to what is plausible to dragon fire. http://www.coralpedia.com/index.php?...g2_itemId=3905

Its a good probability your first guess could be it. If it hasn't morphed on you

Thanks for the input everybody. 650 I will watch and see if it does morph. I think it has to be orange delight or dragon fire, we will see.

try playing with its' location in the tank be it slightly higher location, leave for a couple weeks, then see how it reacts, gets brighter ok or if gets lighter move back down.
