Help With Id Please!

[mankc]

Hey guys i got this colony of nice bright red zoas which was thinking of fragging and havent been able to ID them... I tried going on zoaid and the cloest i found to them were called "Gumball machines" and "Xmas" zoas on some other site... These guys have a bright red center with a reddish brown skirt with actinic lighting as u can see by the pic. The pic isnt the best, its a little dark i wasnt able to get the true red. When the MH's go on they seem to be all red, the skirts are red and almost blend in with the center. They seem to look like ATL triple reds when daylight comes on... ive only seen pics of Triple reds with daylighting, and they seem to look alike... what u guys think?

Zoaid.com claims to be the definitive source for named zoanthids. If you don't find it there, name them yourself.

I know Dean... Figured there are some people on here that might have came across them... I would hate naming them if im not 100% sure they werent already named. Thanks!

Then take a photo showing their color as it appears to your eyes. Actinics suck for that purpose.

I will do so... Its just by the time i get home from work the MH's have gone off already... Ill set the timer for the daylights a little longer 2night, this way i can catch them with the MH's on 2morrow.

Why not permanently set your timers so you can view the tank as you intended?
My MH's don't come on till 4pm

Well my tanks timing has been set that way from day 1 and would hate to change the lighting cycle.... My MH's go on at 2pm and shut off at seven. I would hate to make my light setting changes permanent, just so that i will be able to take 1 pic. Thanks tho!

:smash: Not so you can take a pic, but to be able to view the tank with the halides on
