just wondering if anyone else has this color morph. I think its kind of cool~ I think they are zoanthids but if anyone has any reason to argue that they are palys let me know.

I got a few almost identical to yours about 2 years ago, and they are one of the fastest growing zoa types Ive ever had. They also turned blue for me under strong light (about 8" below a 250wt 20,000K MH). They fade again as the light ages though- they work well as a sign for when its time for me to replace lamps :)

I would agree plays because of their size. They are pretty though. The only ones I've ever seen actually. Since they supposedly grow like wild fire I'd be looking to trade frags if you'd like.
 
I had a colony of these palys and as others had mentioned they do grow fast. When I first put them in my tank the were a grayish/white similar to yours but after a short time under 20k halides, they turned this fantastic blue the same as Hormigaquatica's.
