| Re: What kind of Polyp is This??? Definately a zoo of some kind..could be a palythoa. If the stalks are independent, it's a paly; if the stalks are attached to a common base, it's not a paly, but rather some type of zoo. All palys are zoos, but not all zoos are palys. I have some that look like that too and I identified them as palys. Be careful...palythoas have the most toxic organic substance known on the planet and there is no known antidote. If you gotta get into the tank, and you have a cut on your hand/finger, use gloves. You may want to be careful in placing them next to more sensitive corals, as they can emit toxins as a defense mechanism. check here:Renaming Our Corals by Chris Jury - Reefkeeping.com

| Re: What kind of Polyp is This??? looks like a button to me. after a few weeks when they get a little larger, if the outside startsd to turn a little more of a red color, it is a button.
