I am not normally an impulse buyer but when I saw these I had to have them. They had a tag that said mixed zoo rock $39.95 and I couldnt help myself. My pep shrimp has been all over them for the last couple hours so they aren't all open yet. There is at least 150 of the little blue ones and those are the zoas I was curious about. No matter what they are...for the number of polyps I thought the price was good. When they pep leaves them alone and they open up I'll post other pics. Curious what the big ones are also. Thanks for looking.
New zoas...Please help ID

Possibly Fire and Ice.

The zoas could be either one of these.

Have to agree with Michael on the Fire and Ice
The large ones are clearly Button Palys
It's a definate on the button polyps, but couldn't say for shure on the others. The color of the light in the picture kinda throws me off. Could be fire and ice, but looks like something else to me. Definately not Tubbs! Could be an unnamed morph of almost any kind.

They are NOT fire and Ice if you notice the red skirt is from the lighting and poor pic quality. in the flash pic the skirts are obviously brown not red..

Almost zero chance of them being Tubs. I very frequently see large rocks covered with F&I show up in mixed bargain rocks. Almost never the same with tubbs which have a VERY blue color to the face in lieu of the mottled colors of F&I. F&I can range from pale almost grey to slightly tourquose and skirts from brown to red.

Tubb blue

Right now the lights are 50/50 PC. I'm ordering a cheap vho fixture later this week and should have it the following week. I dont want to put to much into this tank cause I am about to start a larger one and need to get a light fixture for that one also. I'll try screwing with the white balance and other settings later and take more pics. The color of the skirts in the last pic is spot on. The blue in the centers is a little darker in person but not much.

I'd say maybe a similar morph to fire and ice, but with that flash picture and the brown skirts not too close.
