Zoe or Paly?

[ColorMeGone]

I have this one headed critter since Thanksgiving and my buddy didn't know what it was. It acts like a Paly but just now started making a few babies around it. Eats like a Paly and will take a blood worm and munch it down. lol
Anyone know what it really is or a name? I can't find it in my searches on the web. Purple/blue with a Neon Green ring.

If you look at the stock of the polyp and see what resembles grains of sand it's a palys.

No, it's smooth like my Zoes but I have Palys that also have a semi smooth surface.
Are these little bumps what you are taking about on my Nuclear greens?
