Anyone have these? Is there a name? The rock broke into about 5 peices and there are some "Aspens" in there too. Sorry the pictures aren't the best. They aren't fully open yet either...

To me they look like a Caribbean species. If they are, they may stay that color, but may also color up to be a Sky Blue Coloration. Many times Blue Caribbean zoanthids turn green at the LFS or while in transition to captivity. Either way, most of the Carribean morphs are very nice to have. A good find for sure.
 
The green is much brighter in person, very "mint" colored. If that makes any sense. I got a pretty large rock (100 polyps or so) for $40. I guess we will see what happens with the coloring. I also managed to mostly separate the Aspens from the rest, so hopefully I can get a full colony from those as well.
 
I have some that look very much like these from the carribean. I think they will hold the green but deepen slightly form the photos after they open completely. Very nice find.
 
I think I am going to sell a couple of the frags, but I want to wait at least a week to make sure they are healthy. I was also asking if anyone else had these because I want to charge fairly and not rip anyone off, but not rip myself off either...
 
Those are really great looking. I am right in your area (Charleston) and might be interested in buying some frags from you in the future. PM me when you get a chance and we can talk more. Where did you get those from?

I got them at Tideline. They had a couple more frags yesterday. They only bad thing about them is the rocks were infested with sponges. I picked the one with the least and then I had to rip all the sponge out of the rock and that is when I realized it was actually about 4 rocks held together by the sponge. I think I got a pretty good deal and they are doing well so far...
 
When you decide to sell please keep me in mind! I would love to buy some of those. By the way very nice zoo's!
