OK, so the following pics are of Zs and Ps that I got from hobbyist locally. I know names are not important, but I am just curious. So, any help from you local folks that might actually have some of any of these.

1) The big purple ones came from Jason_Tami, and the bright one in the foreground is maybe a Sour Apple from Vivid.

2) These came from Dave3112

3) As I was snapping a pic of #4 below, I discovered this one in the shadows. Any idea? Came from Jason_Tami.

4) Hairy metallic green things from Jason_Tami.

#3 looks like a green button polyp. They are cool but multiply fast.

JSB, how far is #3 from your grandis? It is hard to see but it looks like a little grandis to me.

They are about 12 miles apart. :) These are in my office tank. The Green Grandis is at the house. I do think it is a grandis, but not a bud of the one I got from you. It is noticeably darker, both in the center and the skirt.

Here are the rest I need IDs on:
8) Something red and not doing too well lately. They came from Jason_Tami, but I don't blame them.

9) some really cool looking, fast growing blue things from Jason_Tami:

10) Some green things from Jason_Tami. (I am thinking I should just PM Jason_Tami, huh?)
Screen Shot 2012-11-13 at 6.35.47 PM.jpg


11) I believe these to be Purple Death palys (from Dave3112), but quite unlike my other Purple Death Palys (from H@rry).

12) Green skirt, orange nipple, from Dave3112.

It seems to be more of a palythoa, though. It is the size of a dime, nearly the size of a grandis.
When you find a name let me know. Ive been calling them green buttons. I bought 2 of them out of Tammys $5 section and now I have a bazillion. Mine are also the size of a dime or larger.

Dave's Purple Death came from my colony. Under his light it's more purple. under my MH, it's brown unless I take it up high.

:) they took a while to like my tank enough to get that color. And all the ID's of the corals you got from me are correct. I believe #3 is a type of protopalythoa. Don't know the names of them but they can take over quickly and will sting other corals. Well, mine did anyway. :) glad to see everything is doing well, Scott!
