They are much much more metallic orange in person, I wish I had a nice camera but its broken atm.

Possibly a Fire and Ice morph, try searching that in coralpedia.com or zoeid.com

these are definitely Palys

they are most definitely NOT palys, but zoanthids ;)

as can be said of 99.99% of the large zoanthids people refer to as palys on the boards and retail sites

You name any commonly named desired paly...... unless it is a protopaly like nuclear green, purple death, unattainables, etc......it is a zoanthid.

aog, devils armor, armageddon----all zoanthids...all PE "palys"-zoanthids...campfire palys-zoanthids...etc, etc, etc. lol

I have actually yet to see a single true palythoa with a common trendy name slapped on it. Coincidentally, I have also never seen any palythoa worth naming, although that doesnt stop many other polyps that arent worth naming from being named............:D

Thanks for the information :) that actually makes sense.
Do you think these are worth naming? I wish I could get a picture that justifies their actual color its metallic orange... not that off color it shows in the picture.


As far as being EO's I am not sure, notice the mouth on these is. I will try to get a close up of one of them. Whatever they are they are quick growing and very colorful.

dont know but I agree they are nice

they are defintely not envy orange

envy orange are people eaters(zoanthus gigantus)

Of course, I dont think more than half the pics CP has posted of "envy orange" are really envy orange anyway. They look like a couple of different kinds of RPE's.......one of them a nice morph of RPE's and another the crappy dull red ones. They are surely different if youve ever had them both

On a similar topic, Im not so sure that OPE's actually exist.

here are two pics of the same polyp. They were sweet RPE's that after I had them under high light for a few months they turned orange on me, as orange as could be

Look up enigma's, they look similar. here's a few pics of mine. And yes, I call them "enigma palys" as even though they're scientifically a Zoa, the hobby has broken up the Zoanthid class into "Zoas" and Palys. Not a true palythoa, but perhaps the hobby accepted "psuedopalythoa" classificiation. I know it's not exact nor scientific, but it does help in breaking up the massive Zoa class.
