These came from under weak PC lighting. So they are washed out a lil.

Bright green skirts, purple centers as of right now... Gary if they are what I am thinking, you're going to be a happy camper.

They look close to a PPE paly to me. The color of the base doesn't look just right, but it may be due to the PC's.

Thats what Im thinking aswell. None of them are fully opened yet so its hard to tell for sure. They look like they are going to be penny to nickel sized polyps.

A buddy of mine bought them on a rock with some other zoanthids on it and he said all it said was "assorted zoo's".

Can't see them clearly enough... If you can focus on a closed polpy or a single open polyp, I think it would tell the tale. PPE's (Zoanthus gigantus) all have the white striping on the underside of the polyp when closed. If not PPE's, they could potentially be PHE's, which are pretty cool, too (same coloration as PPE, but no green slit mouth and sometimes have a red ring on the oral disc and are smaller polyped than PPE's (not Z. gigantus)). Nice find, regardless.

Z. gigantus closed up

My camera sucks without the tripod, and I dont feel like setting it all up, but here is another pic, they are not PPE's, some type of zoa with similar features.

anyways, I got 30+ polyps of whatever it is for free, so Im not complaining.
