I have a frag that I have been trying to ID for months and I posted on this forum(I think) when I first got it and now the heads are much bigger and I have a better light on it and it's on a bigger and better system.

Here is the pic of the frag in my tank( under a fluval halo marine LED)

I had these as well. Could never identify. I can tell you that they are Palys and they grow like weeds! I gave them back to my LFS because as they grew larger, their color faded.

About how long did it take for them to grow out?

Hmmm. The picture that you have looks exactly like what I had. They started out small and more compressed like a zoa, then they started growing like weeds. Bigger, and bigger and multiplying like crazy. They started losing their nice color the larger they got. I'm not a fan of palys so I took them back to the LFS.

Mine are not growing fast at all and there are one or 2 that started out as babies with the bigger ones and there now the size of the bigger ones

Are they getting enough light? The ones that I had loved the light. The more the better.
