Hey everyone!

I picked up this rock of palys earlier and am having a hard time ID'ing these. They hold a solid gold with black stripes and what appears to be a black lining around the mouth.

The image is untouched and there is a darth maul frag in the background for reference.

Note: It seems that when I attach images the file flips upside down. Not sure how to fix this, but you can still see the polyps.



Thanks for the help!!

Thanks for the help everyone!!

That's what I was thinking as well but the bigger palys lack the black ring/shading around the mouth/center. They only have black stripes like an xmen paly would have but just black and orange. In addition they're more orange than gold in person.

It may just be a little random morph/feature if anything. I would bet they're along the same strain as gold mauls.
