Can someone ID please?

[krp]

Got these coral from a friend and would like to know what they are. I'm a noob and don't know. Can someone ID?

Zoanthids. See the thread titled "Focus On: Zoanthids" at the top of this forum.

Definately looks like a zoanthid, very pretty.

Based on the pic a ID may be difficult...at first glance I'd agree they look like zoos...but after looking again I think maybe some sort of blasto....really hard to say for sure. can you possibly get a closer pic?

 

[nm reef]

Just for reference here is a blasto frag and a shot of some zoos... maybe the pics will help you ID your coral...

NM Reef, it looks more like the second pic. I haven't figured out how to get good pics yet but here is a little closer pic.

Another note. All the polyps are connected together into a solid mass. They are not individual polyps. Thanks

Second pic looks much more like zoos...and very nice ones at that....

Yeah, they are zoos and those ones grow like crazy!! I have those and pink next to them. Those ones grow about 10 times faster than my pink!!

Tizzo, man those look great. Can't wait for mine to get that size.
Thanks everyone for the help.

Another question. How do you tell the difference between zoo's and paly's? Here is another pic of some coral that I have. The polyps are about two times as big as the zoos in the other pic that I posted. Are these also zoos?----Thanks

 

[tizzo]

Those look like zoanthid button polyps.
As far as your paly-zoo question, I don't know. Hopefully somebody else will...
