Not sure, but I think they are palys, the skirts look too long to me to be zoas

I don't have an idea for ya, sorry. But, they could be either zoas or palys. Skirt length (along with feeding habits and size) are not indicative of zoa-ness or paly-ness :) Growth habit tells the tale for the little saltwater flowers.

Don't true palys take up sand while they grow but zoas don't? I read somewhere that was the difference.

Oh yeah, and most palys aren't real palys but they're just a large zoa.

That's the basic gist of it. Palys take up substrate and incorporate it in their outer skin. Zoas don't have this habit.

Not sure yet. I'm going to be posting a package deal for multiple corals. I'm trying to raise money for a small AC window unit to use in my garage. It will consist of these zoas/palys, pipe organ cora fragl, devils hand leather coral frag, metallic green star polyp rock, Hollywood stunner coral, green button palys frag, and a large piece of my neon green palua nepetha coral.
