Morph id please

[DangerDave]

So these little guys started growing in a colony of bright green palys. There were two small heads. I cut the chunk of flesh they were growing from (it was a small corner) and glued to a tile. They finally started opening and have grew a few more heads. They are dark solid purple, with gold tips on the tentacles.

Any idea of a hobby name?

This is the colony they grew from.

Are the purple people eaters?

 

[DangerDave]

Similar inside color, very deep purple. But just the tips are very bright gold. The PPE I’ve seen have green tentacles.

Oh, and no center yellow line like ppe

Here is a better pic....

Those skirts look green to me in the picture.
Maybe this site could help

Hopefully someone can help more than me!

I see a little green in the pic, but it’s not green. Maybe they’ll change and get more green and develop the center as they grow. I’d be stoked if they were ppe, I don’t have any of those

I’ll try to get a pic mid day when the blues aren’t so heavy.

Boy do these grow slow...

They look like purple hearts. I have them in my tank and they look the exact same
