I have these in my tank and they like to grow! Just wondering if anybody could identify them as I have no idea what they are.....Thanks
First picture is under blue LEDs second is with the flash of the camera light.

Do they look like this? If so mohawks

@dyerrm that was my first guess!

A little but more orange...? They spread like crazy and today I had to take out a couple hundred.... Almost worse than the green palys I had.....

Probably Mohawks then. The things are like weeds!

Thanks. Unfortunately there is very little interest in corals where I'm at on Vancouver Island , can't get rid of any of my ever growing frags and corals and BTAs....I need more reefers in my town.

How often can you get to a lfs? If not often I would suggest a frag tank and when you go take all the frags with you. Maybe you get some in credit.

I'd say mohawks.

More like this?

Yes more like those but with a greenish mouth and slightly longer tentacles. Same color as those though

Mohican Suns the skirt length depends on flow (higher = longer) and they’re very prone to morphing

 

[tinhorse]

Likely mohawks. Thanks all! Happy new year

So that second pic I posted is of Pandora’s

 

[tinhorse]

Hmmm, mine have the mouth of a mowhawk and orange of those Pandora's...kind of a brighter ring of orange around the outer edge.

Yours might have morphed it happens

Truth. They’re very prone to morphing a little bit

 

[tinhorse]

I bet that's the case. And my lights are not the best for color.....just running t5 ho. 2 purples, 1 blue and 1 whiter ATI...

Most likely just a Mohawk or Pandora that morphed. They can morph because of light, flow, water parameters, amount of nutrients, etc. I have a lot that don’t look anything like they did when I bought them, it’s part of the fun
