    Default what are these palys?

    The green ones randomly popped up in my tank when i brought home a piece of dry rock. And the purple ones grew from two random heads on a shell. Cant seem to find them online. Curious if anyone knows what they are. The green ones are awesome. Love them.

    The first ones should be bright green... and they are Green Implosion Palys (aka button polyps/palys).

    Not sure on the second ones.

    Thanks rob. Look them up. Seemz to be them. They have a red not brown strip. Are the pretty common? I'm getting mixed reviews online. Somepeople say common. Others are not so common. Yeah. I think I'm sol on the purple ones.

    They are hardy and grow fast... which would normally make them common, however I never see anyone selling any.

    I'd say they are hardy. They're growing on a piece of lr the size of a baseball that was dry rock. Sat for a month at my house for a month after buying before i even tossed it in my tank. Then a month later boom. First little head. That was almost a year ago. I only have a half a dozen heads now. But little babies ready to pop soon. I see sites selling them for 15-25 bucks a polyp. That seems a little excessive. Crazy. Much appreciated rob. Guess i'll have to be patient ontl those purple ones until i can stumble on them.
