I have plain brown paly's, BUT these seem like a different type....they are kinda sparkly....can anyone tell me what they are called?   ALSO can you tell me if that is Kenya or Colt?  I have A LOT of Kenya, and it looks different

The coral on the left look like Capnella sp., the polyps will always be simply Protopalythoa sp. to me.  On the right I always have difficulty between Nepthea sp. and Cladiella sp.

I had some polyps like that (still might it was a small frag that got knocked off a rock and I couldn't reach it). I agree with Bang that they are simply Protopalythoa sp.  to me as well. The rest I don't know, never had them and never researched them.shrug.gif

Just to be clear, those are Protopalythoa, Palythoa looks entirely different.  There are certainly lots of different colors.  I'm sure someone in this forum can find or make up a common name for them.

I'll make up a name for them, lol.  I have the same ones, they look like a seagull pooped on them!
