Palys or Zoas?

[Oscaror]

So I was in another thread, arguing over what is nicer, zoas or palys?
I thoguht it was palys, but there are many colourful zoas too.
Sure there are darth maul, and blazing agave palythoas, but there are also gems like rasta and fruitloop zoanthids.

So here's a question, what do you prefer, zoas or palys?
My preference would be palys, but I want to see what you think.
Post a picture of your favourite polyps, here are mine:

These are hitchhiker zoas, never figured out a name. They add a lot of color to the tank, really like them.

Ooh I have those, very nice. They're blowpop zoanthids, nice hitchhiker!

Well, I now have a name for them. They came on Vanuatu rocks.

The only hitchhiker zoas I've had are kryptonite, still nice though.

All the ones in your post, with the possible exception of the PEs are Zoanthus actually, so Zoas.

I don't know I like the zoas but palys are usually bigger so easier to see. I know I prefer to frag zoas over palys.

And the argument moves over to this thread. People call them palys. This thread isn't about what the difference, I'm going by what they are usually called. Corals aren't plant's, but we call goniopora flower pots. I don't want to have any arguments here, and I am not putting any guidelines for you to follow when you vote, vote whatever you choose is your favourite
