Paly or zoa? Do they have a name?

[andrea.nichols.1650]

Unsure what these are. Would like to know so i can give them the proper care they needs. Thank you

They all appear to be palythoa. The first and last ones I am unsure on the name but the second picture looks like Red People Eaters. They are pretty flexible on needs. Good flow and moderate to high light usually works well with those.

So since they are palys do they sting?

 

[CoralHut]

Palythoa and zoanthids don't sting but they can encroach on other corals causing issues with them. Give them enough room to spread out and you'll be fine.

And try not to place zoas next to palys, as the palys can overshadow the zoas.

palys will have extended stems , zoas nice and tight to rock, frag plug
