#1 looks like a morph of Bam-Bams, #2 and #3 I'm unfamiliar with.

#3 look like faded Pink Elephants

grisha · Mar 10, 2010

well no,

I had this three for over two years...first came from the second time Perry at auctionmethis.com posted corals on Ebay years ago....Second is not faded pink elephants because i had those for about the same time and they changed 3 tanks and never changed its color

2 on the left side are mowhawk morphs.

grisha · Mar 10, 2010

Same with those...had mohawks and it is just different palys...All three i have for over 2 years...originally i thought it is similar to strawberry fields for ever but this would have to be confirmed with Marvin( most like ly not because they never morphed for me)

No offense bud, but I am about 99.9% certain those are Pink Elephants, which would be a good thing for you since they are slow growers and you seem to have several polyps. Please compare to this photo.

Palys/Zoas tend to exhibit different characteristics under different tank conditions, ie coloration and polyp extension = lighting, and skirt length usually = flow rate.

Mike's photo is a closer representation of your palys, but still Pink Elephants in my opinion. :wink:

grisha · Mar 10, 2010

well, it came from the wild shipment long ago, grows like weed ( I had a colony of a over a 50 at some point), and been through 40 breeder, !50 G and now 60 cube they never showed me PE characteristics besides color combo been same...OK P. E. owners...does your palys have green tips on the skirts?

grisha · Mar 10, 2010

BTW note all PEs have green mouth slits...this is have Blues

Stray32 · Mar 10, 2010

If not, then I would say you have a new paly because I have never seen, nor could I find another pic of one that resembles that, besides the PE. Maybe Pink Mammoths!

They closely resemble these palys as they have blue slits as well, but only difference is more pink in the center around the mouth compared to these palys were small circle of pink around the mouth.
