PRReef Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 They are like a ball of polyps and they only can get attached from a little hole from the bottom of the colony(the hole looks like sea stars mouth). They look like normal zooanthids when they are fully open but I would like to know the name of this thing since they dont seems to grow like normal zooanthids where every single polyp is attached to a piece of rock or anything else, this ones seems to grow like a big ball and dont like to spread through rocks even when they can :| THANKS Link to comment
lawnmowerblenny Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 looks like they are pissed off from that damn emerald crab to me. there is no way on earth your gunna get a positive id with that picture buddy. we need open polyp pics to id zoas. Link to comment
PRReef Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 yeah, the picture was taken when first introduced in the tank. I will take a picture of them fully open. Actually the E Crab is not bothering anymore, he was introduced the same day and I guess he was curious?? lol!!! it was a big shipment I received a few days ago Link to comment
lawnmowerblenny Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 better pix. lol yup....... Link to comment
GokesReef Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 yup....... Instead of boosting your post counts by basically +1ing yourself.. just wait for the new pics. He said they'd be coming. Judging by the size of the colony and the few that are open, I'm going with Radioactive Dragon Eyes (probably). Answer may change pending pic of the full colony open. Link to comment
PRReef Posted April 18, 2011 Author Share Posted April 18, 2011 Ok, I just uploaded a video on youtube, you guys may be able to see the polyps extension there. by the way the extension is not too much, its like the little tentacles are not long enough like other zoanthids. I hope the video help you guys to identify this polyps! I will take a photo as soon as I get my Nikon camera back. link My tank Link to comment

Monochrome5 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 The LFS had something very similar to what you have in their coral tank recently. They were a zoa-ish colony growing from one tiny, central spot just like yours. They were labeled "sand polyps". Not very helpful, I know. Link to comment
