Max Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Any idea on what I got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innate1 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 there is a site called zoanthid id that might help. They look kinda like radioactive dragon eyes without the yellow skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 The only thing I found that was similar was Chocolate Chip Mint Sunflower zoanthid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 They look more like a paly than a zoanthid with the striations in them. They are not Radio Active Dragon Eyes as those have striations in them and the green isn't solid across the whole polyp like RA Dragon Eyes have... I think the site innate listed is your best bet and there are others as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 I thought they may be palys. That's where I got chocolate chip mint sunflower from. The only difference is these have a pale green center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 if you can't find it any where, you may also post an id question on reefcentral in the zoanthid/paly section there as well and you may have someone respond that has seen these before and know what they are...

Bogdan Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 They look like green button polyps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yeah but green buttons don't have the extra spot in the middle, at least mine and the others I have seen don't... but they are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 A couple of these came on some rock i bought awhile ago. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what they are? Thanks for looking, Max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 I just realized I actually posted here once before with the same question. My bad... Still, I never found out what they are. Green button polyps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Max, they are green button polyps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+o0zarkawater Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Looks like a little bit of hair algae in the back, slight cyano on the sandbed, a nasty kenya tree infection, some awesome beneficial yellow sponge, and some normal algae on the glass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 Thanks Ty. You have any more of that scroll coral left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 You pretty much nailed it ozark. I can't catch a break with the cyano or the keys trees. Every time I get rid of them, they come right back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+o0zarkawater Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 You pretty much nailed it ozark. I can't catch a break with the cyano or the keys trees. Every time I get rid of them, they come right back. I found putting the Kenya tree directly under a RBTA keeps them from growing or spreading. Otherwise get rid of your mother colony thats throwing babies and just cut off the other ones, and put putty/superglue over the bases. Have you tried chemiclean for the cyano? I never wanted to use chemicals in my tank but got fed up and tried it. Worked great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hey Max, I do but it's in a sad state right now. Kind of got kicked on the sand in lieu of all my SPS. I moved it back up so hopefully it starts looking good again soon. Check back with me in a couple months and I could probably frag you a small piece. -Ty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Gott Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 They're an awfully pretty colour morph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 They look like green tea cup palys to me. I have some similar ones that are slightly brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
