Ok- I know they are not zoos. This is as far as the open. When I bought them I thought they were zoos that we closed.

 

They are healthy as far as I can tell. I have had them a month with no ill signs.

 

But what the heck are they??

The actually look like closed up zoos for me because of the shape of the mouth opening, it that's what it is.

They dont have the same internal structure as a zoo. I though they were but they also dont have any fringe.

look like button polyps to me ....

Are they hard or soft? Almost looks like mini trupet coral... :

They arent sick. They have not changed in shape size or color.

 

They are soft and will retract further if you poke them. All my corals are fine and my zoos are healthy. These just dont open more than this.

I call deformed or stressed button polyps!

I had some Protopalythoa that stayed like that for a long time. They never fully opened and it wasn't until I moved them to another tank that they did open.

I had the same thing joshnemily! They were closed for about a month and a half! I got worried about them, moved'em to my nano and still no opening. Still worried, I basted some food into their closed polyps, and w/in a week, they were open and begging for more. Clarkii, I would guess they are palys and recommend time as a remedy - they don't look unhealthy, just stubborn.

I had some palys that never did open up... stayed like that for months until I gave up and threw them out!

They are brown skirt green centered Protopalythoa's. IE button polyps. for sure.
