Ronald McDonald Zoas

[JAXReef1]

Hi all,

Counting myself very lucky to have bumped into these today via one of my buddies. Haven't seen anything like this before and had to jump on it.... some of the polyps actually have an orange center thus far, will see how they turn out once they fully open/grow out. ....hoping to get more pics soon.

Rename them "drooling doogle" be use they are hot!
I've been looking @ orange colored coral for a minute.

Very nice, I wouldn't mind if you renamed them...ha!

That's what those are called? I was given a frag of them and some rastas last month and neither of us had a name on those. Thanks!

Yep, these are a morph a buddy at the LFS has been working on for some time. Ive seen yellow/Goldish zoas, but I've personally never seen anything like these before. These things are insane...wish I had a better camera besides my phone.

The guy I got them from has had them for about a year now, and I believe he said he paid $50 a polyp. He hooked me up with a nice little 6 polyp frag. Due to past considerations I have free frags for life from him. I can't wait until the absolutely insane Acros he paid $150 and up for 1/2" frags grow out!

They looks like a rasta but yellow instead of green

That is a really nice zoa, but I just couldn't bring myself to call the "Ronald McDonald" zoas. I'd have to come up with another name for them. (grin)

 

[SubRosa]

I agree Dave, I would expect something named Ronald McDonald to be red, white, and yellow!

He couldn't decide between that or "happy meal" regardless of name, glad I got my hands on them

1. How do I get in on this "free frags for life" thing.

2. Who the heck names zoos anyways?

1. No idea.
2. We can. I say we rename the ones I have, sine the majority think he name is not fitting.

With zoas... it seems the answer is whoever has them for sale...

 

[JoeCanada11]

True that. You could just make up some kind of name and make them sound so much better.

1. When this guy was 12 he used to come in and bother me as I was running the reptile dept at a large pet store in the early 80s. Instead of telling him to hit the road I used him as slave labor, but answered any question he asked to the best of my ability. We lost touch for a while and then I was working at an aquarium specialty place and he came in bitten real good by the reef bug. We've been in touch ever since, and I help him out with more technical stuff. But the free frags was put into words after I spent 14 hours helping him move his mother in law. Still think it was worth it?

2. Who cares as long as there are pictures?
