I can start a frag list, I'll put you on it. If you don't want to wait for a frag from me I got them from ReefRunners in Orem, he had a dozen or so frags of this on Saturday, he was selling them for $10 a head but I had the feeling that he might negotiate.
Tell him I sent you, maybe he'll give me a discount or something if enough people pick up this frag :)

They came from Brandon who runs zoanthids.com He is on the board here. He calls them Hawaain people eater Palys according to his website. (http://www.zoanthids.com/index.php?cPath=22&osCsid=33924e7db94278e24ee6f3975f63aea6)

No it's not Aiptasia. Wrong color, tentacles too short and too fuzzy.
Looks like some type of Anthellia, cousin in the family that includes
the snowflake, daisy and woods polyps. I was thinking they looked like these in "my tank", but when I pulled up the pic I see that "mine" look more blue. These are in just a foot of water.  Sorry, no frags.

jordanh - I'm in no hurry, and am currently growing out about 30 different high end/rare zoa/palys so let me know if you want to do some trading.

I'm pretty sure that's Anthellia. See the same color runners extending out across the rock like a net, or kind of like blood vessels. That's how Anthellia coral spread. It's a unique color. Hope it does well.

So this might be a noobie question, but are zoanthids and palythoas closely related? I have a couple large colonies of green/red palythoas and while they seem to be built the same way that zoanthids are, they seem much larger with a greater ratio of oral disc radius to stalk radius and the tentacles at the edge of the oral disc seem to be a lot thinner than those of zoanthids.
Nice people eaters:D
