Hello all,
After much thought and work, we at ZoaID.com have decided to expand to CoralPedia.com! This expansion will allow us to expand into the incredible world of SPS, LPS, and other coral hobbyist identifications.
Additionally, we will be adding a long-term request to the new site: Scientific Identification (Family, Genus, and Species) and color descriptions to all new submissions! These identifications will be to the best of our ability and we will be adding a few new council members experienced in coral identification. We will be going back and adding identification to older submissions as well.
We are very excited about this expansion and hope that you are too! The site has been migrated to the new domain, and we continue to complete that migration even as you read this. If you find any bugs, please let us know by using the 'Contact Us' link on the left-hand menu.
As of the time stamp on this writing, there are over 320 Zoanthid submissins and only a few LPS and SPS submissions. We expect these numbers to grow quickly to over 50 entries within the next month, and the sky is the limit from there! We are now accepting submissions for all corals, so feel free to send us your tank shots and flash shots of your favorite named corals! 
Thank you,
- CoralPedia.com council

This news article is a bit overdue, and my apologies for it's tardiness.
ZoaID.com has brought on a new council member to assist with the site. And man, he came on and cleared our backlog of submissions in a matter of just a couple of weeks! He has been a *huge* asset to ZoaID.com.
Welcome kigs! And thank you very much!

Hello all!
ZoaID.com has put a few Zoanthids up on eBay that were in the 2007 calendar (You can see the 2007 calendar using the left-hand menu). They were generously donated by that month's Zoanthid owner. 100% of the proceeds from these auctions will be used toward lowering the price of the 2008 calendar!
If you would like to partake in the auctions, you may see them here:
2007 ZoaID.com Calendar Auctions
If you have any questions, feel free to use the 'Contact Us' link on the left hand menu! Thanks!

Hello all!
Just a quick note to apologize for the recent delays and to let you know that we are in the process of catching up!
Summer time hit the entire ZoaID.com council and our free time went out the window. Me personally? I've been getting SCUBA certified! The Mrs. and I are now PADI Rescue Diver certified! 
Things are settling down now and we're playing catch up! Expect to see a ton of new submissions in the upcoming weeks as we catch up on the backlog of submissions.
Thanks!

We thought ZoaID.com would start something new - the ZoaID.com Photo of the Month! (POTM)
The POTM will be a monthly shot chosen by the ZoaID.com council as their favorite photo submitted to ZoaID.com for that month. The winning photo will not necessarily be a newly named Zoanthid submission to the ZoaID.com site. Photographs of already named Zoas or other Zoanthid-genre material are constantly being submitted and added to the ZoaID.com site - and we don't want to exclude those shots from the POTM!
So enjoy the new feature, and see what we like the best! The winner will be published on the ZoaID.com homepage.
As a reminder, you can click on the left-hand menu titled 'Changelog' and see all new submissions (newly named submissions or just new shots) added to the site at any time. In fact, this is exactly what the ZoaID.com council uses to preview the shots submitted for that month!
Enjoy,
-Who Dah? |

James (jreimer) is a researcher from Japan specializing in Zoanthids/Zooxanthellae. Recently, James hit the RC Zoanthid community with a wealth of scientific identification knowledge and interesting Zoanthid identification news. He is currently trying to use DNA to bring zoanthid taxonomy up-to-date.
He has been so kind as to share some of his pictures with all of us and recently accepted ZoaID.com's offer to host his scientific identification images on our hobbyist identification site! We've setup a special section in our gallery for his current shots with lots of room to grow!
Not only is the scientific identification extremely interesting, his shots are incredible as well! Please check them out here:

A 'bug' was recently pointed out to me regarding the owners of the shots/albums on ZoaID.com. It wasn't so much a 'bug' so much as a 'feature', but I can totally see how it could have been misinterpreted!
Basically, each album/photo would display an 'Owner' tag at the top right of the page. This 'Owner' represented who did the uploading to the ZoaID.com site. For instance, 'Mr. Smith' submitted a shot to ZoaID.com, and 'whodah' uploaded the shot. The site previously showed 'whodah' as the 'Owner' and 'Mr. Smith' as the photographer, original ID'er, etc..
It was never our intentions to take credit for the Zoanthid shots. In fact, we take pride in having permission to use each and every picture while giving credit where credit is due for each individual shot here on ZoaID.com! It took a while longer than anticipated, but I've figured out how to disable that 'Owner' tag to put the issue to rest.
I apologize for the confusion and hope that those who noticed this bug understand!
Here is a screenshot of the issue:
