PPE zoanthids not palys

Just thought I would share something a little different. These guys have had a couple babies sprout for me allready. I think the mini me version is pretty cool. Color is as intense as the real ones.

hmmmm.... they look like PPE's to me.... how long have you had them?

 

[MarvinsReef]

About 2 months. You thinking they might just need alot of growing up?

yeah... I've PPE's stay small for months but ended up getting bigger...

they are; most of what people call paly's are actually zoas

Could they be PHE's? When I had PPE's, they were pretty small, too, though (as are my PD's and Nuc Greens).

PHE...don't have the green slit mouth, and they have a red ring around the inside of the fill

Didn't even notice the green slit (was on the phone with my sister trying to browse the forums). PPE it is, then. PHE's don't all have the red ring, though, do they? I thought some developed the ring and some didn't. I've got some without the ring...

Could be wild caught PPE, I know when I got mine from one of my buds on here they stayed small for a really long time and didn't grow any at all for months. It's almost a year later and they have gained size and their color has darkened to what we thing a PPE should be. Those look like PPE to me as well, I had to put mine in a low flow in-direct lighting for them to gain size and color, before that they justed stayed small and wouldn't open up all the way.
