They are much much more metallic orange in person, I wish I had a nice camera but its broken atm.

these are definitely Palys

they are most definitely NOT palys, but zoanthids

as can be said of 99.99% of the large zoanthids people refer to as palys on the boards and retail sites

You name any commonly named desired paly...... unless it is a protopaly like nuclear green, purple death, unattainables, etc......it is a zoanthid.

aog, devils armor, armageddon----all zoanthids...all PE "palys"-zoanthids...campfire palys-zoanthids...etc, etc, etc. lol

I have actually yet to see a single true palythoa with a common trendy name slapped on it. Coincidentally, I have also never seen any palythoa worth naming, although that doesnt stop many other polyps that arent worth naming from being named............

Thanks for the information that actually makes sense.
Do you think these are worth naming? I wish I could get a picture that justifies their actual color its metallic orange... not that off color it shows in the picture.


As far as being EO's I am not sure, notice the mouth on these is. I will try to get a close up of one of them. Whatever they are they are quick growing and very colorful.

dont know but I agree they are nice

they are defintely not envy orange

envy orange are people eaters(zoanthus gigantus)

Of course, I dont think more than half the pics CP has posted of "envy orange" are really envy orange anyway. They look like a couple of different kinds of RPE's.......one of them a nice morph of RPE's and another the crappy dull red ones. They are surely different if youve ever had them both

On a similar topic, Im not so sure that OPE's actually exist.

here are two pics of the same polyp. They were sweet RPE's that after I had them under high light for a few months they turned orange on me, as orange as could be

Look up enigma's, they look similar. here's a few pics of mine. And yes, I call them "enigma palys" as even though they're scientifically a Zoa, the hobby has broken up the Zoanthid class into "Zoas" and Palys. Not a true palythoa, but perhaps the hobby accepted "psuedopalythoa" classificiation. I know it's not exact nor scientific, but it does help in breaking up the massive Zoa class.

Those look like them I am 96% certain. Thanks everyone!
