yellow polyps also known as "Parazoanthus axinella" thats basically what they are called you had it right i always just called them yellow polyps also....
really hardy just like other zoo's the only thing i noticed is at first i have them too close to my encrusting xenias and they actually were stinging the xenias making them retract so i had to move them further away....

thanks!!!
yeah but i think in the same article they were talkin about a dirty yellow moray that is fine for nano tanks and is reef safe!!!!
i saw that and thought it was the coolest thing!!!
yeah a ribbon eel woould outgrow your tank fast but maybe u can try to find one of those yellow morays that would be cool :thinking:
