Complete Bonus/Ultra Coral List - 2024 (REVISED AS OF 2/16/25)

[B the Nano Reefer]

In regards to this CoralExotic Bounce Zoa, I spoke with Tin at the CFM, he said to have this zoa bounce you need to have it a high par. Mine is on sand so no bounce, so is not an ultra than? I got mine from the swap last time with no bounce, but before it was ultra. I would bring a few frags if is qualified as ultra. If not I'll just get other

It’s only bonus and I think it has to be visibly bouncing at the swap to qualify as bonus

This, unfortunately.

There were a couple complaints we got about it never "re"bouncing and just looking like similar, lower-cost zoas. Split the difference and kept it on the list, but has to be bouncing at the time of swap.

I feel sorry for the guy at the coral checkin table who has to determine this

@thephoreefer Can you post a picture when yours was bouncing? Never mind.

@JVU it should look like this if it's bouncing; more like a blastomussa than a zoa:

Thanks. But when Zoas come in to the check in table they are generally closed up and pissed off. Usually can’t tell for sure what they are much less this kind of detail

Red Devil Interstellar Bounce Mushroom - (WYSIWYG) | Queen City Corals

I have one of these - mine is decently large size. Does it count as bonus? I know $60 isn’t a lot considering some other corals on the list.

Interstellar mushroom is on the bonus list already

Interstellar mushroom is on the bonus list already

It looked a little different from google search of "interstellar" so I was wondering it it was 2 corals with the same name: like goldenrod (acro and anacro), or space invader (chalice and pectinia)

Good to know though

You certainly could be correct, we’ll let the boss @IOnceWasLegend decide

It's on the list; if it looks similar enough to be mistaken for it - or you're not sure if it's actually a different lineage - I think that's fine to count as bonus.

Do sunny D zoas count as bonus? They are similar cost to butt munchers - $45/2p on wwc and tidal. Also, how big must sps pieces be (inch requirement?)

They do not.

As big a piece as you would be happy to receive. I’ve seen pieces as small as an inch for higher end stuff all the up to baseball size chunks for more ordinary stuff

@tribbitt Sunny D zoas are awesome though, someone will be very happy to get it

I bought three polyps of these about 1.5 years or so ago, for approx 100 USD at Cali Kid at the time. I have no clue of their name and if this actually qualifies as bonus coral?

The picture is showing the original plug, which fell off a couple of days ago, but I have two rocks in my nano tank covered with another 50 polyps or so.

I would need a name, or at least a look-alike, to judge unfortunately.

Are they Yoda zoas maybe?

 

[Yippee]

Will either Pumkin Patch Echinata or Fruity Pebbles Acrpora (tabling type) make the list?
