Ran a quick google search on "jokers" and yes! That Is exactly them! Thank you! I bought a colony of greens just because I saw this tiny purple one with a green skirt on the back of it. So I got it home, fragged the single polyp, and now I have what you see in the pic! One of my favorite zoas that I own for sure.
Now I NEED to get some tubbs blues, but can't find em around me. Ugh

Man! I'm envious of all these pictures! I wish I could keep zoa's alive, I've had better luck keeping SPS alive. They always seems to melt away after about a month.

I tell people this all the time, I think zoas are every bit as tricky as SPS ......they are collected from a wide range of zones making figuring out light and flow requirements very difficult ..... I wish websites and such wouldn't classify them as an easy beginners coral

I agree 100%. Every colony is different, a lot of success with zoas comes from a lot of trial and error. If they don't seem happy, give them more light, or less light, more flow, or less flow... They can be very picky sometimes but once try are happy, they are awesome to look at!
