2 to identify. possible Whites

[DVA]

Have these 2 morphs been seen before, or identified

Dirty Whites zoa?

and these are a little more purple than shown here. There are actually 2 different morphs within this group. I tried to color correct these as best as possible.

Bleached palys on the top, and bleached protopalys on the bottom.

sorry for the confusion. I know this are palys, however these two photos are totally different morphs, these are not even on the same rock.

I don't believe anything is bleached here.
if those in the top photo are actually bleached wouldn't the other zoas around it be also?

in the second photo, these palys are a deep purple.

any other ideas.

here are the purple under the blue actinics.

No confusion, like I said the top are bleached palys, the bottom are bleached or browned out (it's hard to tell which) protopalys. The top ones will color up brown, and the bottom ones will color up pinkish.

The fact that the other zoanthids on the top aren't bleached doesn't make the palys less bleached, those just tend to come in that way due to shipping stress. Just enjoy them for what they are once they color up, they're not rare but they're still nice

Here's the other thread so you can have an easier time with the copy and pasting.
