My new favorite

[d.grcich]

Just wanted to share some huge palys I got. I think I like these even more than the high dollar stuff I have been collecting. Definetly my new favorite or at least favorite for this week

What makes you think they are palys? They're quite nice but they look like a fairly common zoathus (non-gigantus).

 

[d.grcich]

I am sorry I led you to believe they were gigantus in some way. When I say Paly I mean as in Palythoa. Here is a pic of them next to normal eagle eye zoanthids just for a size comparison.

You didn't lead me to believe they were gigantus, I was just saying I don't think they're Palys or even Zoanthus Gigantus (which are usually refered to as palys), and are just a larger polyp Zoanthus sp. Doesn't really matter though, they're nice whatever they are

 

[d.grcich]

Thanks for the compliment. I asumed when the polyps were huge they were just palys. I could be wrong and never really investigated exactly what makes a palythoa a palythoa. Think I will make up a new thread with that question for my own knowledge.

I would like to know the difference as well.
