Jbrock183 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I just purchased 2 corals recommended by the LFS as good beginner corals. But I can not remember their names. Would someone please identify these for me so I can learn more about them. Link to comment
GHill762 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 A mixed rock of zoanthids on the left and what appears to be some green star polyps on the right (pic is fuzzy on my phone) Link to comment
Mariaface Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The second looks a bit like clove polyps to me. You can google it and see if that matches up. Link to comment
Jbrock183 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Here's another picture of the one in question. It has already started to open up. I appreciate the help. Link to comment
PaulBuxton Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I would recommend wearing glove if you have to handle the Zoanthids, they can produce a toxin that is quite nasty if it gets into an open skin. Link to comment
GHill762 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I think it's some kind of anthelia or something,that's not xenia.... or possibly brown star polyps.. Link to comment
Jbrock183 Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Interesting mix of opinions. Maybe these pics from day 2 will help? Link to comment
Mariaface Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Definitely zoanthids, definitely clove polyps. Link to comment
PiscesFish Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 First one is mixed zoanthids or zoos. Second one is either daisy polyps or pipe organ. Link to comment
