AOG or Goochsters

[Cherub]

Anyone know the difference?? I have a AOG that I've had for 2 years. Also I have a frag of goochsters that I just recently bought. They look identical... Are these the same thing with different names? I googled both and both look the same. This is the pic in my tank.

I think they are similar but even in you photos the zoas look slightly different to me. Are the Goochsters on the left and the AOG on the right? I have AOG's that look the the zoas on the right in the picture.

The AOG have less color near the mouth if I remember correctly and the goochsters apper to be "brighter" in coloration.

well I'm really wanting people to tell what they think is what before I revealed. I do see the differences that you speak of except the frag on the right has a larger polyp that looks identical to the ones on the left so I'm just looking for feed back. I'm certain the only reason they're slightly different is because of tank chemistry and lighting differences. Same color, same skirts and same mouths.

Can you take more pictures at different angles? Cause the picture above you can tell the difference and pictures are worth a quadrillion words

you can also just google it so you have more/better examples

I tried to find the closes match and it looks like they might be the same. Here's the goochsters https://www.google.com/search?q=goo...Q&biw=1024&bih=672#biv=i|13;d|mR2KNXA7GG16fM:
And here's the AOGs https://www.google.com/search?q=aog...Q&biw=1024&bih=672#biv=i|27;d|fduVrkmNFVy1pM:

yep that was my conclusion too. Not specifically just my frags but all around

The ones on the left look exactly like my AOG's. To me the AOG's have some other color in the discus, where the other kind of Zoa are more solid orange.
