Most zooanthids adn palythoas usually size between 1/4 in to 1 in with p;alythoas having bigger polyps and zoanthinds having smaller polys. Most zoas grow to about 1/3 of an inch to 1/2 in in diameter. MOst palythoas grow to about 3/4 of an inch to 1 in + in diameter. Palythoas are typically taller than zoanthids by about an inch too.

Great thanks?i was thinking that was about their polyp size but wasn't sure.I sure hope my Paly's that came today open
The Zoos are fine but i'm worried about some palys,frogspawn,GSP and a monti.They had no heat pack and their water and box were freezing.the frogspawn is just a tiny white skeleton.It did expel a string of slime.So i'm hoping it's sign it's o.k.

Keep an eye on your water params. Most likely the y wil all pul;l through. They are pretty hardy corals. As long as you r water and lights are quality, you should have not problkem
Be patient. Over the next couple weeks the corals eill become more at home;
