Identify my Coral?

[AlyHarper]

Hey Yall! I know it's hard to tell, but I bought this coral frag from my local store. They told me it was a Zoanthid and I was curious if any if you could identify it for me?

Need white light photos. Not a zoa

Attachment isn’t working

Hopefully this one is better! Just bought my redseaLED50 and I'm still getting use to it haha

@vetteguy53081 what are these? My mind goes to aiptasia but I don't think that's right.

Maybe this photo helps

Oh cool !! I love these things. It is Yellow polyps AKA Parazoanthus gracilis, featuring a bright yellow body making it one of the few corals with this awesome coloration. They are semi-aggressive but lack venomous tentacles. The Yellow Polyp feeds off ight and needs moderate lighting and moderate waterflow

That’s what what I thought but I really doubted that a store would sell aiptasia

So is a parazoanthus gracilis also an aiptasia? (Excuse my ignorance)

No. Aiptasia is a pest that can sting coral. Not what you have.

Nope it’s a amazing looking coral

No. It is a super easy fast growing coral. Here is mine. New growth after just a few weeks.

Thank you both! I really enjoy watching this one they are lively and fun

I had one that did and sold them as anemone rocks. About 19 rocks just covered with aptasia
Incidentally, they are no more a store
