I found this page and wanted to share it. It would have saved me tons of time and alot of misinformation about zoos.

Oh yea forgot to say DO NOT show to wifey! Unless you are rich, because you know she will pick out the 200 dollar per polyp one that she just has to have.
For IDing Zoanthids, I've never seen a site better than http://www.coralpedia.com/index.php?module=Gallery2&g2_itemId=15 . However, I haven't checked this new one out yet.

holy smokes, check out this new one Michael, i like it a lot better, just mouseover the zoo in question. I tend to get lost in the names and non uniform pictures on coralpedia, it's a great site, but much better if the same person with same equipment took all the pictures.

I've been bouncing back and forth from both the sites for past half hour and officially i think i've gone color blind from all the colors.. I still only found like one of my zoos between the two sites.
It's a very colorful site...lol. However, in scanning through it quickly, I also question quite a few of the IDs. On their side, IDing Zoanthids has become as much of a game as collecting them....lol. Sometimes it's almost impossible.

I dont think anything but the scientific name can be the "correct" name.
example "freak-a-leak whammers" c'mon, its all goofy stuff.
And also at the top is the disclaimer.
"*not meant to be a "zoa bible" - but a compendium or reference / wishlist ect..."
But read the bottom this guys been doing this since the beginning, Coralpedias 1st zoo pic is from 2005.
MGDMirage, they do have Bam Bams, and they're correctly IDd. They're on page one, about 1/4 of the way down, just below the first "garden" picture, on the right.

No doubt i was trying to dis your thread in no way!
It's a good view you brought it up, but the thing is almost everyone goes off coralpedia which is a known spot to id coral and a place to name a coral for id'ing! Can you name them there? Should i sell my darth maul's as snake charmer paly's LoL ppl would laugh at me and be like dude those are dm duh! Lighting & parameters can make a zoa change its feature's and be named something else at least coralpedia shows you examples of that typical zoa in other tanks and dont use other websites photos to name them something else! You mention you wish you knew of this spot back then, so you can go off phoney names? jus my buck 50 haha
