A couple new ones to ID

[returnofsid]

Well, got a few new Zoanthids in the past few days and need some IDs!!

#1. First up is some kind of PE, I think. What's throwing me is the green speckles throughout and the thin bright ring, just inside the skirt.

#2. On same rock as #1. Pretty sure these are RPEs. Whatcha think??

#3. Last but not least, here's a nice sized one I picked up that's a real beautiful lavendar color, with a bright green mouth.

And for Eye Candy....here's a large, 7", colony of Pocillopora that's 2 colors, split right down the middle. Before you ask, YES, this is a single colony.

That is a BEAUTIFUL poci! Did you just get the speckled GPE-ish zoos? Some zoos develop the speckles under high light, and they go away given less, or less direct light.

Yes, did just get them. However, they were NOT in high light. In fact, were hidden behind a large rock, pretty much in the shade. Figured they might be GPEs. Am I correct that #2 is RPE?

Doesn't that Pocillopora rock??? It's amazing!! Wish the frags would grow out multicolored, but I guess they don't. Frags grow out the same color they're fragged from.

#2 almost looks like bleached GPE's to me
