Can anyone ID these for me please? Also, are they palys or zoas? I'm guessing palys, but i'm still very new to the hobby.

Thanks!

Is this any better? I've had aptasia in my tank before and this doesn't really look like that stuff...

They look mostly like those, the color is a little different, but basically the same thing.

They are different genus of zoanthids.

This article has some good info with pics of the different genus.
