Id on these palys?

Dave2 · Mar 8, 2009

Hey guys and gals, Ive had these purple/green palys for well over a year now, started off as 2 polyps as hitch hikers on a favia frag. Any clue on what they are, I sold a few in my area as gravediggers (self named) as I couldnt find them anywhere else at the time, but now wanted to see if anyone else had them.

Thanks,
Dave

With those thin tentacles, they look more like protopalys than palys or zoas...great color combo though..did they always look like that? Usually proto's grow really quick compared to the other 2. I like em though!

When closed they don't look like protopalythoa(the typical tough, brown stalk) and look more like a PD. They started off just kinda green, but saved them just in case. I think they look cool, they don't grow the fastest though..
