Long zoanthid tentacles?

[mfaso24]

Hey reefers. Some of my zoas have these really weird aiptasia like looking tentacles. I'm curious if anyone has seen anything like this in zoanthids before. I originally got these zoas back in June and only one of the polyps had tentacles like this. That single polyp has multiplied and all the few around it have the same type. Just thought it was an interesting looking mutation. If you saw it by only the tentacles you would probably think it was an aiptasia.

I'll post some before and afters to show how much these things have grown.

This is from November 13. I since cut them off the plug and glued them straight to the rock.

some Z and Ps will exhibit longer than usual skirts, sometimes attributed to high flow.

Stumbled across this old post and just thought I'd post a quick pic of a year and about 3 months worth of growth.

Looking good! They seem very happy

Do you think I should frag them off where the yellow ones start impeding the red zoas?

I would just leave them be. They will fill up the rock and look nice together
