Zoanthid ID

    I am looking for help identifying and finding a zoanthid that I used to have. It had a white skirt with a hot pink center and a white mouth. This was a zoanthid and not a palythoa; the polyps were small and formed a sea mat to spread new polyps. The guy I got mine from in South Dakota lost his colony also to some coral chem warfare, so we have both been looking without any luck. I have been searching online and have yet to find anything comparable.

    I don't know if these are it but they are exactly the color you describe.  "Hot Pink Polyps" about a quater way down the page.  They are listed as palythoa though.

    The coloring on the polyps on the aquacon site looks like what I used to have. I will have to contact them and see if they have a few more pictures to compare.

    I had looked through the coralpedia site, but did not see anything that looked like my old zoas.
