Any ID on these Paly's

I have had these for awhile and always wondered what they are. Never seen them before. Don't mind the sand on them, I was doing some maintenance on the tank previously. Any Ideas?

They look a bit like Mint Chocolate palys though maybe not as bright. That is really a big colony you've got there.

I got mine as a hitchhiker on another colony.

Do yours have green slit mouths? Softball sized colony. The larger polyps are nickel sized. A few of mine have the Lighter streaking. I just finished dusting them off an going to take a few cleaner pics.

Looks like Purple...Greenish....Reddish.

How about "PURPLE GREEN NUCLEAR DEATH" ? That sounds right...:bigsmile:

Here's a few cleaner pics, also a different colony of palys that kinda look similar to the one you have.

Wow - those are some really green mouths on yours. Mine do not have that at all. The mouths are darker, similar to the last pic you posted. They don't have quite as pronounced striations either. Nice colonies.
