Welcome to Club-Zoa Naldopr! Is there any way you could get a better pic? Its hard to tell from those pics what you have there.

When I first saw your second pic I thought to myself.... Why have I seen that pic before? So I went on zoaid.com and bam... it is the same picture used for monster lip palys
http://www.zoaid.com/index.php?module=Gallery2&g2_itemId=1639

Then I went and checked the location of the pic you provided to see where you getting that pic, and clue #2... the name of the pic is monsterlipsnoflashab0

Perhaps your zoas are different then the provided second picture, but the only way to know for sure is a better pic. Here is my technique for getting pics, but I would only do this once your palys are adjusted to your tank and are opening fully.

Find some type of tray or rack to place your zoas high up in your tank, you could also sit them on top of a powerhead if it has a flat surface. Place your zoas on there early in the day and allow them to open up with some time. Turn your powerheads off and try and get some pictures from the top down. If your camera is as problematic as mine you will have pretty good luck shooting from the top down, especially with items placed near the surface. I've also had pretty good luck using the top down method to take pictures of zoas/palys on the sand bed aswell, so you could try that before moving your zoas higher in your tank.

Good luck and welcome to CZ.

I would hate to burst your bubble but it is a bit tough to say from that pic, so I will stick with my first guess. It looks like your polyps need more time to color up, how long have you had it? What is that growing around them, the thing you are holding onto in your last pic?

like I say before I got this pice of coral that look like a pavona from a friend tank that was a display in a store. the polyps grow from there they told me that it was a vary rare coral.
