Zoa ID

[Kris.C]

Wondering if someone knew what this Paly is, picked it up as a stowaway from a tank breakdown and has since grown into its own little colony. It's the Green Paly with the Cream/Orange middle (top row second from the left), hard to see in the pics but the skirt has some nice green speckles as well but since it gets some flow in the current spot the skirts have elongated.

This other one I picked up from Macna last year, gold and pink speckled center .. grows like a weed in my tank.

I'll take a closer pic of the first Paly tmr when the lights go back on, there's no pink in the piece, it's more of a light yellow halo that turns more orange/cream color towards the center. As for the second Paly, I've seen Pink zippers and these aren't as nice lol. Maybe I'll reshoot under more whites to get rid of the blue wash in the pic. Thanks for all the inputs thus far though!

Updated pics of that first Paly, pain to get a good shot of the piece since it sits in the very back wall.

I can't find anything that strikes me as matching that off the top of my head. It's probably a zoa though not a paly, based on the color and markings. The brown skirt makes me think it might be discolored and has to color up yet to show us what it really is? Looks similar to kraks.

Thanks for the input! TBO this ID was just for my curiosities sake. I guess time will tell if it changes to something else. The skirts are normally a lot shorter colored dark emerald with light green speckles, with the random flow it's been getting the current spot it's elongated and actively catches and eats mysis, brine or flake foods that occasionally gets broadcast fed into the system. I contemplated moving it but since it's happy I leave it alone.
