So I know what zoas are and I get the difference between them and palys. But I have some that I guess are some other species but not sure what it is.

The heads are largish, like the size of a dime. What's different about them is that the skirts are really long and scraggly...long like the yellow polyps that spread like weeds. They are kind of blue/green in color.

Unfortunately, my camera is broken right now so can't take a pick.

Just curious what to call these besides 'polyps'.

they spread very quickly and are good cover.

Thanks in advance.
 
Skirt length can change on the same polyp depending on water speed.
I have one set of palys, who's skirt gets up to 3/8" long.
When I first put them in my tank, they were half that length.
 
I've got to get a pic. They are sparse, very thin and really long.
