Considering there are so many different types, colors, and places of origin (and different care requirements of each) I'd like to get a list together of any and every possible zoanthid or paly out there.
Obviously, you'd have to list the names, and that (IMHO anyway) would be a downside..... But I think having a centralized database with the Polyp's name, picture (for reference/ID purposes only), suspected place of origin, and, most importantly, care requirements, would be very helpful in troubleshooting problems and issues for the 'lesser experienced zoa keeper'.
I realize there are similar sites out there, like zoaid.com, and that's a great resource, however this list would be focused more on the care requirements of a certain polyp rather than a picture and name only.
For example: "I have a nice small colony of Purple Deaths. (Insert picture) .They are growing pretty heavily under strong light, but their colors come out best in a lower light setting (Or a higher Kelvin/Actinic spectrum). They seem to do best under medium flow, but can typically handle higher flow just fine."
Does this sound like something that would be useful? Any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

have to be laid out in an excel spreadsheet of sorts, instead of a wordy listing like the above example.
