Hitch hiking Zoas...

A few months ago, I noticed a piece of my live rock had a few small zoa hitch hikers. I removed the rock into a better light/flow area and they have developed into these guys...I can't quite id them...any ideas...

I think fire'n'ice has more blue in the centers...these have mainly a pale yellow that fades to a pale green ring before the orange takes over the outer skirt. I need to move the piece so I can get a direct photo looking down on them. This photo was taken holding the camera and taking a chance as they are actually facing the rear of the tank towards the wall.

They are zoos, with different lighting and flow and parameters the same zoos could look completely different. The names cant keep up with the morphs.

Might want to juice that aip before he starts spreading on ya.

Actually that is the only Aip in the tank that I can see...my 2 peppermint shrimp have harvested the rest. I don't know why they never mess with this one though.

Definitely could be a morph...I think they're cool for a hitch hiker find. I hope to have the rock covered with them soon!
