I believe I see those called Pandora's Paly, super fast and aggressive growers
Definitely sounds like them, searching Pandora's Palythoa will come up with more results. Alos, careful fragging these guys, they can carry palytoxin, so try and keep them under water. Many hobbyisits like to make fun of those overly cautious around palythoa, but I got a light dose from a large colony and that toxin is no joke, better to be safe than sorry!
Beautiful, and I do understand that they are referred to in the trade as "pandora palys" but it is incorrect, they are not true palythoa, like the people eater "palys" are all Zoanthus. gigantus, also, Armour of the gods "palys"- is actually believed to be Zoanthus kuroshio

Comic book names are great and all, they definitely have their place when describing color morphs and the collectabilty aspect of it has grown the hobby, which is great.
But when the comic book names start leading to misidentification problems, it's a pet peeve I guess, lol

I just know them as Pandora’s. Whether or not they are true plays, I don’t know. I just said in my post above that they are “Pandora’s.” I’ll take you at your word on it though as I’m not really a big zoa guy but rather an Acro freak!
While precautions should be taken with all coralAll have palyotoxin which as stated is extremely dangerous (I read second deadliest toxin LD50 by weight). Use gloves and eye wear, do all fragging under water and never boil any instrument or rock exposed to them. I recently changed tanks and simply gave my LFS (who did the install) the palys and the live rock they were attached to, some 20lb plus live pieces
As far as classification who cares, palys, Zoe’s ect all extremely similar and phylogeny matters very little
