The green ones are surely the R.G. Dragons, but the others, the purple centers with white spots are awesome! Try the ID forum (link is at the bottom of the zoanthid forum), or the zoaid.com gallery.

PS: when you are ready to frag a few of the spotted ones, let me know!

Thanks for the info guys
I just moved them over to the id forum.

I'm going to try to separate the 2 colonies in hopes that they'll grow faster(more space, they look like they're crowded with no space) Any thoughts on this?

Seperating the ones in the middle is going to be a pain in the rear. It looks like there are a couple spots where the speckled ones are prevelant, I would try to clear the area around by scraping the green ones off and then try to make a clean break to make a seperate colony if it is in any way possible. This would help to keep them from growing into each other again.

There may be a better way to do this...anyone got a better idea how to seperate these 2 zoa morphs cleanly?

Nice stardust variety. I have no idea what they are really called, but they look like they have been dusted. A sharp knife or spatula should allow you to cut just under the polyps you want. Limestone based rock is actually rather soft.

Got them for $40 at the buy 3 for $100 bins. The guy that bagged them up did a "double take" when he seen what he was actually putting in the bag. I kinda laughed a bit when he said they were darth mauls.

anger them and then use an xacto knife to pry them up. you can cut the matrix of webbing around them and still get them off fairly easily by scraping a little bit of the rock as mentioned above. thats how these were separated out
