Help identification....And growing

[Gordon Cashmore]

first two not exactly sure what they are. Bought from a guy in bham he was not sure. Looking for help identifying. Both very healthy and growing

Third and fourth are zoas but not having much luck with them growing. I have other zoas that are doing great and splitting. Had these for about three weeks. Have moved them up and down for light. Any suggestions would be awesomely appreciated.

The first one I believe to be a Duncan. That's all I got. Perhaps #reefsquad can help with the rest

1st is a Duncan the 2nd looks like a blasto

Give the zoas time. Some need longer than others. Long as they open don't turn white or anything crazy leave them be.

Yep they close at night. Whoever glued them to the plugs looks like they got them all. Will the split higher where the glue is not present and slide off? The other good growing zoas are doing that but I took the frags off a rock and used minimal glue

+1 - Duncan
+1 - Blastomussa
Maybe a goniopora, fully retracted?

Hmm. I think you are more right on the goniopora. Is this a zoa? It was a hitchhiker. The diff between the gonio and this one is the suspects zoa closes up on mysis. The gonio does not close on anything I have tried. They only close on hermits picking around

Looks to be a palythoa.
