Anyone seen these? (PIC)

They are mini Zoanthids (I assume). The polyp is about the size of a stick pin head (the round ones). Pretty cool looking. Maybe call them Super Boys?

Not a good pic. I suggest checking Coralpedia

Could they be Tubbs Blues?

The pic is a bit fuzzy, but they look reminiscent of the IceFire Zoas, which are a small zoanthid variety.

Not Tubs. They have a thick Red skirt and blue center. Will try to get a better PIC.

Is the blue center speckled? Could be Hells Angels.

+1...

Looks very similar to those but the center is all blue.

I have those as well, very tiny morph. I bought them from ATL as fire and ice zoas.

Yeah, as far as I know, the ATL Fire and Ice (which aren't the same as the original fire and ice--why do they do that?) are the same as the IceFire Zoas from Yourreef. That is what I think they look like, and those are a tiny zoa. Hell's Angels is a good contender too.

I used to have those, they're very bright vibrant red, but pretty tiny even for a zoanthid.

i think i found some hells angels at my lfs. got a huge colony for a sick price. they have the orangey red skirts with blue centers and speckles in them , but the speckles are tiny specks. not as vibrant as the pics on coralpedia . here is a pic , let me know what yall think

what do you all think these are , the came on the same piece of rock

nater · Dec 4, 2009

oops, i mean these ... any ideas?

650-IS350 · Dec 4, 2009

those are green or emeral ringed zoanthids, totally different polyps

Those look more like PE polyps to me. If they have blue speckles in the middle, I would guess wild magicians palys, which bear a strong resemblance to the Hell's Angels. Still a nice polyp, so I wouldn't be too disappointed. Keep them in lower light to keep the color up.
