I have watermelon zoas growing in a couple of areas in my tank and one of the areas I noticed a watermelon zoa growing with different colors. what do you guys think? Instead of the bluish center, this polyp has a neon green center with the same color around it and the skirts as a normal water melon zoa.

Second picture is with flash, first picture is without.

I wouldn't complain; call it a Christmas Zoa and sell it after it grows. :lol:

In actuality, it's just a recessive genetic trait that decided to pull through. I'd be interested to see if future splits from that particular polyp are going to have green centers or normal ones; or, if like most recessive traits, it skips a generation.
 
Good name - Christmas zoa :)

My other frag with 20+ polyps doesn't have any that look like that. Its just that small colony on that rock.
