Paly identification

[Renaissance corals]

Picked up this unlabeled paly. Best way I can describe how it actually looks is a cross between the blue images and the yellow lens.
The area between the mouth and lashes is a pinkish base with what looks almost like stars throughout. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pink zipper zoanthid. Not a palythoa.

I can tell you that it is in fact a palythoa. And it is definitely not a pink zipper or Hawaiian Punch. It does have a slightly similar look to the pig zipper but that's about it

I say hawaiian because they are ones thay can change quickly under different spectrums.
It really does look similar to the pics I posted.

Absolutely beautiful! I would love to get some of those. These ones almost look like a cross between the two but definitely not the same

It does I will turn the lights to white and compare again. But just going off of having seen them with the naked eye under all blues they don't match.

Thats because we are running different spectrums. These where taken under blue and purple plus lights. You may get close but may never get a perfect match.

My utter choas change in different spectrums. I gave some to my buddy and he gets pink highlights where the ones in my tank do now.

I think we have a winner. Just looked them up and those are the closest match I have seen so far and some of the pictures online are dead ringers

Very true. These are under a prime 16 HD running both blue purple and UV channels

Pink zipper zoanthid. Not a palythoa.

I was wrong. It's just a really big zoantid not a paly
