Id Please

I can't seem to find these guys on either of the ID sites. I would appreciate ID help.

Photos were taken under 10k and 460nm actinics.

IMG_0355- Long stem with orange polyps

IMG_0369- I think these are either eagle eyes or green bay packers

+1 on ID.


What wattage is the MH? The zoas look like they are reaching for the light.

Thank you for the ID's.

As far as lights go I run 48watts of 10k (T5's) and 40 watts of 460nm actinic (T8's). My tank is only 12 inches deep and #3 is probably halfway up.

Those are ok in regards to lighting. But I just won't put those type of protopalys on my main rock work as they are very fast invasive growers. EE's on the other hand are sweet.

Thanks for the info, I don't remember purchasing the protopalys, I think they came in on some LR I bought. Is there any way to cut them back if they start taking over?

Chip them off the rocks or worst case is kalk pasting them.
