Too many zoa's?

A couple other examples of zoas getting really close to each other. Does anyone see anything concerning?
Thanks!!

1st picture posted has some protopalys in the top right corner. Bottom two all seem to be types which are not overly aggressive. I'd say other than the protopalys in question not much reason for concern. Nice collection by the way.

Also, FYI, site here has a glitch - for some reason it doesn't always let the first post from photobucket show, so you have to go in edit out the deleted picture box reenter the code - then it works. Can't tell you what the deal is, just know it works that way sometimes.

Thanks for the compliment and advice. Which ones are the protopalys and how can I weed them out?
 
The larger ones that are in the right corner of the pic. I think they are mixed in with Eagle Eyes? Sorry I can't ID Zoa's for nothin...
 
Even the with the protopaly situation it doesn't look like there is any aggression going on it looks like a happy family!

Thanks! I hope your right, because I don't know how to weed out the protopaly's! I'm concerned that my "gin & tonics" are going to over grow my "cats eye". They are growing faster than anything!
 
Have question about pic at post no 20, the pink paly right side of magician.. Is it have a name? Thanks....

Looks like Devil's Armor, but we'll see what the OP has to say; FYI, those just to the right of the polyps in question are the protopalys. Personally I don't know that I'd eliminate them, but perhaps more seperation would be a good idea. If you do need to eliminate them eventually, a kalk paste mixture squirted onto the oral disc will do them in, you may have to do a couple of applications. Protopalys are pretty tough - I think some of my button polyps took three or four applications. Remember to keep an eye on the pH if you do this as well.
