Hi guys! I got some super cheap frags today but he didn't know what anything was. Pictures suck and colors are "off" so I will try my best to describe.

This one actually looks like a sunflower. Yellow mouth and kind of yellow/ orange skirt.

This little frag is strange. 6 polyps with neon green center, purple ring and yellow skirt. Then there are 8 polyps that have a crazy neon orange mouth, some orange speckles and the very tip of the skirt looks orange. These are tiny, if you cut a pencil eraser into 1/4's it would be one of those.
Last one was the hardest to photograph. It looks nothing like it in person. It is pretty good size polyps bright pink/ peach mouth then crazy speckles with kind of lime green/ yellow skirt. These are on a frag of blue and red Eagle Eyes. Appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Stephanie

Also, was cleaning my 20L tank today and thought lint was sticking to the glass. I realized the "lint" was in the tank! 1,000's of these microscopic white specks running on the glass. They are fast. Hopefully you can see in the picture:

Any ideas as to what they are? Should I panic now?
Help, please.

Some zoas nothing harmful maybe the first one has some palys watch those can grow pretty quickly.
 
first picture the palys to the left the teal ones. called seaphome palys take those out as they are a heck of a fast grower and will take over your rock work in a few months. the REALLLY green and yellow ones are dragon eyes.
 
Well, I hate to say it but somehow poisoned myself fragging. It's taken me two days to figure it out. I thought I had a migraine (worse in years) nausea so bad my daughter have me one of her post surgery nausea pills. Chills and couldn't get out of bed or eat for two days. It hit me tonight when I was target feeding my corals. DUH! I fragged this

I tossed the ugly palys. I feel stupid because I do wear gloves, glasses and mask BUT as soon as I glue I have a habit of pulling off gloves to put my frags in my tank. I happen to have three cuts on my hands.
 
Those are definitely radioactive dragon eyes. And I used to not wear gloves until I got hit with some palytoxin. I was fortunate enough to not get it as bad, but I did have a terrible headache and was seeing little sparkles of light in the shower. I never frag without gloves now. Hope you're feeling better.
 
Updated pics. My frags are Happy Happy. Still need id's

I know the blues are Eagle Eyes but any idea on the yellow? They were a muted peach when I got them now they are lemon yellow and HUGE!

Two unknowns. One is kind of grey/ purple with neon orange mouth and silver speckles. The others are neon green.

Thanks,
Steph and her happy 20L new tank
