I was wondering if you knew the name of the Grandis Palys you have in this top center of this pic with the green face. I saw some just like it at an aquarium over the weekend and wanted to try and find them.

Thanks @g8trnation
really pretty! Are those plays? Are you using like some color enhancing lighting? I saw zoa first time today at 2 coral shops and they were so tiny! I mean they had some that had made colonys so they were older and reproducing yet, teeny weent. How big do most zoas get or is it that maybe they dont feed them, they were also far from light. They had good prices and some bright yellow and pink ones but The employees who didint seem to know much said different breeds can be very tiny! I dont know what to think. I am looking to buy candy apple red and rastas, and people eaters from an online store that has them crazy cheap but I fear they maybe tiny

Those things get quarter sized!

what are the quarter size ones? All the stores I see zoathids in are very tiny! I mean you need to use the magnifiy glass to see most of them. I love this one store marine depot in tampa. They have a lot of cheap frags but they arent labeled but by price and none of the people even know the names of them. I have an internet order and thinking of changing. Sunny d's pink gobstopper hawaiian people eater. I have heard some people say those were big so I guess I will go through with them. I love rastas wondering how big those are? the tiny ones in stores are reproducing and there will be 5 or 6 of them but still so tiny and even some rock colonies so does that mean they will stay tiny?

Pink god of war on the left and regular god of war on the right. You'll notice the pattern is very similar but for red or pink.

As for polyp size that very much depends on nutrients, lighting, flow, and parameters. I know some guys that there polyps get very tiny almost always, and others like myself, my polyps tend to get quite large. I also have some pink diamonds that are very big, and rainbow incinerators that make those pink god of war's look small.

Valentine’s Day Massacre can get pretty big, as can Bloodsuckers. My Red People Eaters & White Zombies are also really large. Not sure what these are but they’re the largest I have after my Paly Grandis.
