If you touch them (with a gloved hand or something reef safe) and they retract into a hole, they are not zoos/palys. I had one of these in with a group of palys and I thought it was a paly. I happened to be in messing around in the tank one day and brushed the colony it was near. The palys closed, this guy retracted into the rock.

Rackyrane i sm sure what he posted in a Protopalythoa. you can clearly see the stock on the ones in the back. a better image of the stock on the one open would better revile that.
