So I have a few questions I have some zoas I want to find out what kind they are (first picture), I want to find out what these are they look and grown like green star polyp but are completely pink (second picture), and I have a bicolor hammer which now I’m confused not sure anymore if it’s s branching or wall pretty sure it’s branching but just to to be sure since it’s just one head. Also I have a mini maxi anemone and wanted to get some rock anemone what’s their compatibility? Can they be close like touching , shouldn’t be close?
Thanks I appreciate everyone’s comments.

For your first picture that looks like a green button palythoa to me. I have had some in the past and looked very similar to yours. A lot of people consider them more of a pest now a days due to their fast growth, sting, and having larger concentrations of palytoxin compared to other palys/zoas.
 
The first one looks like some Protopalythoas. (button polyps) The second one might be Anthelia and the third picture looks more like a branching Hammer than a wall. As far as the two anemones go it's probably best to keep them away from each other. GL.

Yeah that’s exactly what I thought idk where they even came from they weren’t there before just appeared lol. Do you know anything about the other questions? Thanks for the reply.

Great thank you so much.

Are the anthemic considered like pest? Or their coral like you can buy at a lfs?
 
No, they're not a pest, but it is one of those corals that can spread fast if conditions are right. (proper lighting, flow etc) Same goes with the Protopalythoas. Definitely keep your eyes on these two corals. GL.
 
Some view anthelia worse than xenia or gsp. They key to the fast growing soft corals is keeping them isolated on an island not touching other rock or glass. I have kept anthelia for over a year and isolation is the key to my success. Once it attaches to new rock and starts growing it is very difficult to get it off.
