Zoas or Pallys? ID with Pic

[nyhcx516x]

2 items.
1 - any ID on these? (pic was taken under atinics, so that may distort them)
2 - the look more like pallys i think? If so, what would the lighting requirments be for them (didnt get any care guidelines when i picked them up) I currently have them on the top thrid of the tank, wondering if I should move them down a bit. (40 breeder, currently 288 watts of PC lighting from 2 fixtures)
(found a regular light pic)

Thanks

thanks. how can you really tell the dif?

You can tell the difference in that palys take up fine grit into their mats and zoas don't. Also, some palys have white stripes on the underside of each polyp.

Looks like some aiptasia on the left between the zoas.

I would get rid of it fast. The aiptasia that is. Zoas looks great,

def aiptasia. looks like its bothering some of your zoa heads!

Agreed, definately get rid of the Aptasia. Joe's Juice is great for killing them. Get rid of them FAST as they will take over your tank and kill your coral. It happened to me, but thank God I didn't lose my coral! Peppermint Shrimp will help keeping them under control as well!

Sorry I cant help you but I was gazing at your beautiful clear water

The aptista is gone, got a pep shrimp a while back and they were gone overnight!!
the water... isnt that clear anymore
Im having a microbuble issue, and its really annoying me!
skimmer is in the sump, bubble traps all over the place, and they are still creeping into the display. Im gonna try a few things and if i dont solve it, probably come back and post for more help.
Ill have to post some updated pics of the tank this weekend, i got lots more eye candy in the last few weesks. (ill post them in reef tanks

What kind of zoas are in the first pic, I just got some the other week that look just like that.
