ID on some Zoas??

[moondog]

I am not sure what to call these, any info on an ID would be great. Sorry, not the best pics. Also, I am thinking I need to frag these, they are starting to get crowded.

you don't ever need to frag zoas, they are actually pretty happy when densely populated. These are radio active dragon eyes. If you have a brighter area in the tank they might actually look a little brighter.

+1 Although if you do frag them they will grow faster, just FYI.

They are much brighter than they appear in the pictures, for some reason these shots were the only ones I could get that were not blurry. All of the shots that show the colors were blurry. I am still trying to figure out what settings to use on my camera.
Some of them are starting to grow on the underside of the rock they are on. It is some sort of branch rock, and would be very easy to break off versus peeling and pasting.
Will they just eventually spread onto the rocks around them? As you can see I am new, and this is my first non-hitchiker coral.
Thanks for all the input.

Yes they will grow out and eventually attach to anything around them. You can certainly break off the branches they are on and spread them out around your tank.
