Help ID stuff from Petco

[allendehl]

I've been in my local petco a couple of times and these guys are permanent hosts. Light is terrible so everything there look like ready to jump off the tanks.
I'd like your help IDing some of the stuff...who knows..maybe they have the steal of the year and I am missing out

Thanks!!

The one on the right in the first picture and all circled out in the second picture are maxi/mini carpet anemones. Very hardy anemone.

1. Green Star Polyps
2. Maxi-Mini Carpet Anemone
3. Zoanthids of some sort

All Maxi-Minis in the second picture.

Thank you both for the quick help. These Maxi-Mini look horrendous. Any chances they turn out to be something worth taking under good care and light?

From what I know about Petco (my sister works at one, and from the few purchases I've made there), everything is just not well-cared-for. The zoas I bought from them about a month into owning my tank have since gone from straight-up tan to a nice orangy center with green-ish tentacles. My guess is that with good light, good water, and supplemental feedings, those things will get better color on them. Maybe not an insane amount, but the nems will most likely show marked improvement under your care.

The other piece of advice would be not to purchase from them, and to move on to another place.
