Looks like you need a few more corals....small ones:lol:

FWIW the hydno originally came from coralreefing and the birdsnest is from ORA

I'm not sure if they would be palys or protopalys...anyways, they were sold as "bankgo polyps." They're very large in comparison to other paly types.

Let's keep Thomas out of this.

Has it been that long since I've come over and raided the tank? There is a lot of stuff I haven't seen... Tsk tsk tsk. What color is that Acan (maybe a Favia?) in the back right of the candid Acan shot (behind the orange echinata)? I may need to grab another piece of the Watermelons. Mine has all but died (over the last few weeks). I'm not sure what's going on with it. It closed up and has never opened, but the other zoas all around it look fine... Haven't lost mini colonies of zoas since the rabbid rabbitfish incident...

Those are very similar in form to what is called Protopalythoa psammophila. I didn't notice them at first because they look like some I have (that change colors at the drop of a hat). Mine don't have the cool striations your have, though. Alot of nice stuff there.

FWIW, I've attached a link to an article that is becoming dated on zoanthid differences. Some research has redefined some of what was commonly accepted (only in terms of the 'people eater' type zoas that used to be called Protopalythoa's and are now classified as Zoanthus gigantus, so far). It is likely that the Genus Protopalythoa will be completely absorbed into the Palythoa Genus, eventually. I'll stop hijacking Casey's thread...
