i;ve seen some people eaters and these look exactly like them except the colors aren't as nice. mine seem to be more of a brownish purple depending on lighting. are they worth anything?

Protopalythoa or Palythoa... The lines blur. But they're the same species as the PPE's--that is, people-eaters, yes, just not purple people eaters. No, not worth much, but they're nice nonetheless--be happy with that!

Protopalythoa for sure. Palythoas aka crater polyps, have no stems and do not prtrude from the base. The resemble small craters andare ugly as sin. Protopalythoas and large diameter polyps with large slit mouths and extended polyp bases.

Also they are found in an unbelievably huge color aray.
