Anyone know what these zoas/palys could be?
#1 Orange palythoa
The skirt has alternating bands of orange and translucent purple. And the mouth has a yellow border.
The young polyps start out as drab purple. As they mature they gain more orange color throughout the disks and skirt.
They also seem to be kicking the clove polyps' butts and pushing them away.
#2 Blue zoanthid
Brown skirt. The face has blue with random patches of brown.
Some of them appear to have spiral or nebula type shapes forming in the center of the disks.
#3 Dark purple zoanthid
These were originally from the same rock as the blue zoanthids. I fragged them out when I noticed that they appear to be a different color form/shade.
The two frags below are about a year old, starting with 20 polyps each.
#4 Blue zoas with neon green centers / random neon green dots.
These are also on the same rock as the blue zoas on #2. I'm not sure if these are just new color morphs of the same colony, or if this is a different variety mixed in with the rock.
These different color morphs are running into each other and I am still deciding whether to frag them and relocate some to their own rocks.
