It is yellow with a dark outline. I have a picture with normal tank blues, and one with only whites on.

I don’t think so. These are yellow, even though it looks kinda green in the pic. Also, the tentacles aren’t long. I believe these are a variety of zoanthids, just have no clue on what they are called.

They are Nuclear Greens. And they are not the invasive green polyps.
They are just like any other coral that grows.

Lol. I paid 25 bucks for this

Also, they spread???? Thank god! My tank is over 300 gallons, and no matter how many corals I’m putting inside, it looks barren. I have GSP that’s taking off and it’s looking great. I’m just filled my tank with rare zoa morphs hoping they take over.

Palys look ugly imo. They have those ugly skinny tentacles. These are small and yellow. At the LFS, they looked stunning with the actinic lights.

Those are protopalys. Nuclear green or whatever, but the bottom line is they are what they are. Usually good growers and have a nicer greenish yellow look to them. Still in demand in my opinion. Get yourself some Purple death palys and grow them together for a nice contrasting colony.
