ID? green skirt AOG-thing

[therman]

Do these have a name? I've been growing them out from 2 polyps for a while now, and they are pretty sharp looking. The skirts are sort of a striped seafoam green color.

Any ideas?
Thanks!
Tim

They are probably just devils armor/aogs...I got in a batch of these a while back and have been fragging into different tanks....they morph depending on lighting...under bright lights the skirts will turn almost white and the centers will be bright orange, under lower lights the skirts stay dark with the green and centers stay more dark reddish...

hmmm...they haven't morphed at all in my tank in 6 months, going from t5s where I got them from to LEDs in my tank. I've never seen the "devil" pattern in them either...which I thought was the whole point of Devil's Armor.

I have AOG and they definitely are not the same.

DA's just have a variegated ring that makes them a little darker looking.

Those look like the polyps I've known/have as Apocalypse palys. Fast growing AOG-type. Under some lighting the skirts can have a green color to them. The pattern is identical. Fast growing AOG-type.

Here's a pic of my colony. This group is in a nutrient-rich (unskimmed) tank in moderate lighting, so the skirts are pretty dark.

Yeah the pattern looks just like those, but the skirts are quite a bit different in my tank. All the "curly skirt" palys (raptors, AOG, etc.) around it have long shaggy skirts, but these stay short and fat with the green stripes. Could be the same though, or one mutation away

Yeah they really seem different from Devil's armor in person. Maybe my photo isnt the best, as they aren't open all the way. I have 3 different big pinkish-orange AOG types and they are all very distinct. I guess just like taxonomists.... zoa fanatics can be lumpers or splitters

reminds me of these but less in color and different color in the skirts
