I grabbed these a wild back from a friend who got them from a friend, they’ve recalled far distances... not to sure what they are called and want to start fragging them or trade/sell whole colony.... I’ll post pictures

I was trying to figure out a way to get a ruler in my tank to take a picture. Actually my biggest one is probably closer to 2.5" than 3" but most are at least 2" in diameter.
And I’m chilling over here with my AOI zoas that are maybe 1/4”:cool:

Here's a couple pics. I think the OP's look closer to the green cup paly in my 75G.

Here are the Grandis in my 40B. That's a full grown Chalk Bass at the bottom. I'd still like to get a small plastic ruler and try to get a good measurement.

They don't look big enough to be grandis. Looks like a green cup paly. My grandis are closing in on 3 inches in diameter.
Yea I think the green cup Paly may be the the winner, they’re almost an inch in diameter no where near ur grandis, thank you again!

I think they're one of the most beautiful solid color palys. You can see by the zoas in the picture my biggest polyp is about an inch. They don't seem to completlely take over a tank like some of the others do.

@vetteguy53081 actually came up with the correct name. Nuclear Green seems to be correct. They sell for about $35.00 on Tidal Gardens.

Looks pretty similar, mine aren’t as neon green unless under blue light, almost a mix of neon/dark green... but these replies steer me in the right direction
