Could this be a zoas?

[CrazyD]

I have 4 of them on two rocks. Zoas pictures I found did not really look like this one.

Thanks for your help.

[CrazyD]

Thanks nycdominicanreef, I'll look them two up.

It is a common Palythoa.

 

[nycdominicanreef]

Nevermind what i said, it looks like a bleached button polyp/paly

 

[CrazyD]

Thanks again, all of you.

Annoying and weeds in the same sentence can't be good. I'll keep an eye on it. I'm still in the cycle stage so for now it's all good. If it gets crazy i'll just get out the :tank:

It looks like a Grand Paly and they are not weeds and people pay about 50 bucks apiece for them. They change colors as they get larger

What is the actual size of it..about the size of a dime or bigger/smaller?

That would be a good thing.:wink1:

Hi KathyC,

I would have to say about the size of a #2 pencil eraser and thats only while the lights are on. It looks smaller after I turn out the lights. The lights are off most off the time.

+1 on the Paly Grandis

 

[CrazyD]

I just looked at pictures of the Paly Grandis and must say they do look a lot like them, only much smaller. Lets see if I could keep them alive. Do I need to leave the lights on for them?

the green ones are supposedly worth more than the brown or cinnamon ones. some people are also selling the "blue paly grandis" but it looks like a brown and white with a lot of actinics in the pic.(never seen one in person).

the green ones are slow grower but get huge. the big one in the pic is over 2" across. they grow bigger if fed occasionally. the cinnamon ones grow faster....just like any paly's or zoa's, the pretty ones are slow grower where the brown ones grow like weeds.

Those Grand palys all look similiar when small. I had both in my tank and didn't know they were different untiil about 2 months of growth.

 

[daaznmofo]

i still think it's one of those annoying ones. in some parts of the tank it was blue, brown and white, and another part it has a lil more green. speaking about the paly in my tank.
in op's pic, the polyp of the paly looks really thin. the grandis palys polyps are thicker even when they're babies.

It's one of the Palys that grow like weeds. When they're small they look like that, I should know as they're all over my tank. When they're small the tentacles are shorter, they only get longer when they get bigger, and they do get very large.

Small Grandis Palys look nothing like that, bigger ones are way different, which you can see from the pictures that have been posted.
