Looks like daisy dukes to me. But the color seems like its taken under intense blues. I suspect under whiter light it will look like daisy dukes images you'll find googling.

Armor of Gods are Zoanthus Pulchellus. Definitely not a paly.
Distinguishing the Genus Palythoa from Zoanthus
Members of Zoanthus do not incorporate sand into their polyps, members of Palythoa do incorporate sand and other debris into their polyps. The confusion in the hobby is mostly from the incorrect usage of “Paly” to refer to individuals of the species Zoanthus gigantus, Zoanthus solanderi. This should be actively discouraged because it creates unnecessary confusion between the otherwise easily distinguished genera. The genus Protopalythoa is not a valid genus, with all of its members now assigned to Palythoa (see Reimer et al 2006a).
