I set up my tank some time ago and had only fish and inverts. Then I ended up inheriting some live rock and zoas from someone who was shutting down their tank. I have what I believe to be a large paly colony, but then also these suuuuper tiny zoas. When I asked the guy what any of them were he said he couldn't remember cuz he had gotten them several years ago and didn't keep any records of what he had.
Fingers crossed someone here can ID them for me. The micro zoas seem to be spreading quickly and in weird ways. I found 2 new polyps yesterday that were attached to a small sheet of cyano barely bigger than they were in a far flung corner of the tank nowhere near the next closest polyp. I accidentally kicked up the cyano and it stayed in a sheet with the polyps attached just floating around the tank. Never seen something like that before. They're also attaching to random shells throughout my tank which is pretty neat.
The first pic is of the palys. Fully open they're about the size of a thumb nail. The miniscule zoas glow the absolute faintest lime green color under blue light, and are smaller than the head of an eraser.
