Palythoa name?

[Reef Bass]

I tried CoralPedia and the closest I got was Black Hole Suns but these lack the distinct, contrasting ring / circle around the center.

"My Pretty Paly" will have to do for now.

They look like copper rings or the BHS but probably a morph

Thanks for your input roxy25.

Yes, Copper Rings was my other guess, but as with the BHSs, they lack the colored circle / ring around the mouth. The face color seems to match BHS better.

I can live with a morph of BHS. "A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet". These are very pretty imho.

BlackholeSuns.

Thanks 650. Yeah, you're super G

If you look at both copper rinsg and BHS they are 99% identical ... This is why I find this morph talk silly sometimes ..... they label new names on certain zoas even if they look the same as another it gets very confusing.

I appreciate both your inputs. Just so I understand...

It sounds to me as though you both are saying Black Hole Suns, Copper Rings and My Pretty Paly should all be called, what, say Black Hole Suns? And then CR and MPP would be just morphs of BHS without a specific "common name"? Or toss the whole morph thing altogether and just be ok with slight color variations on the main theme of BHS?

Same polyp to me just a morph.

Gotcha. Makes sense.
