I don't think so (not sure which ones you're thinking of) but I'm not great with zoas name though. To the left of the rastas are armour of god pallys, above and to the right are maybe.....not sure but they sort of look like;

Nuclear Meltdown zoas



Is this the utter chaos zoas you where thinking of??? Sadly I don't have those. Got it off google image

(Actually on the first page,Rasta on the eggcrate top left).I'm really considering the PAR 38 now for my frag tank,they seem to be the ticket for a small tank.

Ohhhhh, at first I was confused (as I've never had my rastas on egg create) then I looked back to the first page and realized you were talking about the pic I took off google images. In that post I used that pic to show what my rastas should look like. But looking back I'd have to agree in that pic it does look like they are utter chaos zoas (or maybe darth mauls) but unfortunately it's not my pic.

I love my halo par 38. I got it from fragbox, I went with it because it had a red and green spectrum to it and not just white and blue. I highly recommend this light, it made my coral colours (with the exception on my red hornets) really pop

Thank-you. It's relatively low maintenance (I use a red solo cup for water changes ) but with a small tank I'm constantly checking temp (I find the temp can swing quite a bit unfortunately, thankfully it seems to handle the temp swings ok) and I have to putty things in slowly and be careful not to use to much or it could cause a tank crash.

this is a close up Doug got of them when the new light was first put up, as you can see they are brighter now. FYI I love my par38


Those are super awesome red/orange with a purple ring in the centre (I have no idea what they're called but I could come up with a cool name if you'd like) zoas and yes those are rasta's which are finally looking like rasta's under the better lights.

I think I found an id for the above zoas, I think they are Ko's nightmare

Happy news, I was puttying in some zoas and saw my Pom Pom crab

Thankfully what I saw before was a molt and not a dead crab like I thought.

Pic I took (crappy iPhone with the lights out pic)

Thought I'd share pics with the added rock and zoas. I was to lazy to use the good camera and download pics but I got some ok iPhone pics to share

[fishoholic]

So after relentlessly scrolling through coralpedia I think I've identified all the zoas in this tank

Zoa list:

Magicians
Orange bam bam
Armour of gods
Everlasting gobstoppers
Pink zippers
Sunny D's
Candy apple reds
Rastas
Space monsters
Red hornets
Miami vice
KOs nightmare
Nuclear meltdown
Jokers
Eagle eyes
Watermelons
Green lanterns
EZs
Taylor's holy grail
Flaming sun

I also have a neon green candy cane, bleeding apple scolly, superman monti, one ric and 2 mushrooms.

New zoas I got today



I think they are darth mauls (like the pic below) or a morph of them. They were labeled as deadpool (in the store they kinda looked like them, but i had a feeling theyd look better under better lights) and under my lights they definitely look more like more like darth mauls

Upon further research I think my new zoas are KO's not darth mauls
