Okay, the place I got these from called them Strawberry fields. The only other reference I can find to polyps by that name is here:

GUIDE S-Z

I'm not able to find any photos of them on that site.

These photos are of two different frags that I purchased. They have bright green skirts, pink discs, and green centers. I'm assuming they're a type of paly and not a zoa. Does anybody know what they're called?



 
Yeah, they do look pretty similar. However, having seen the whole colony from which these were cut, I think these are much more pink, and in general, much brighter than the Mardi Gras on coralpedia. I know some of mine look blue/purplish in the photos, but that's just because they're still babies and probably stressed from the recent cutting. I wish I had a picture of the whole colony. They remind me of the Tyree Space Monster or the Strawberry Wines, but with green centers. They really pop, and from a good distance.

Does anybody else have any ideas?
 
Yeah the pics are there aren't that great . Here are pics of my mardi gras under different lighting. More light the more pink they get and it kinda looks sparkle-y too.

Hmmm, yeah, the plug on the left looks pretty close to the colony that mine were cut from. Mine are definitely pink and not purple, and I wouldn't say that they sparkle. To me, it's more of a foil like sheen/reflection. The colors are not flat like they are on some zoas. That's amazing that the zoas on the right are the same kind, because they honestly look nothingn like what I have. Thanks for the photos!
