Need help identifying all these corals

[831reefdad]

Was told what they were when purchasing. Now it's lost to my poor memory. I need to start writing it down because some of the names of zoas are way long and hard to remember lol.

Bottom Left: are tequilla sunrise mushroom.


Bottom right: is playthoa grandis (research poly toxin if you aren’t familiar with it these Palythoas are known to contain that toxin)

 

[MarcosD]

Top right is orange hornet zoas
Middle left one of them is a yellow hornet zoa

Pink diamond
Nightmare (probably)
Red hornets
Yellow hornets
Daisy cutters aka star gazers
Pandora on the bottom of that third pic (probably)
Last pic are paly grandis (toss these out while you can, double bagged) not worth keeping

Are the Palys an issue?

 

[Mr. Seahorse]

yes, Palytoxin can be in them

 

[MarcosD]

Are the Palys an issue?

Yes. Highly recommend to just dispose of them properly before they grow. You’ll regret it later

 

[MichaelB]

Are the Palys an issue?

Come by the frag swap tomorrow if your able to. You will definitely be able to pick up some far nicer coral than those Palythoas.

 

[Mr. Seahorse]

I would steer clear of Palys

 

[tribbitt]

Palys are not allowed in the main swap iirc, to avoid spreading them to people who might not be aware of palytoxin

Now I'm reading pandoras may be a pest?

 

[MarcosD]

Now I'm reading pandoras may be a pest?

They just grow way too fast

 

[B the Nano Reefer]

Not a pest, but a strain of zoa that is notorious for growing very quickly and tend to outcompete/smother other smaller polyps Zoas if they’re on the same rock. They’re also not all that in terms of appearance in my opinion.

If you’re worried, I’d frag off that polyp and glue it to a separate plug, and keep it a bit away from other Zoas you want to grow out over a rock

 

[MichaelB]

Now I'm reading pandoras may be a pest?

Don't put it on main rock structure. They looked great, I started with 5 a month I later had 25. It's not one I would keep again. Those or narvinas they have explosive growth and while not a pest they grow fast enough that they could become one without good placement.

They over grew their plugs and grew directly on my frag racks that's when I got rid of them.

 

[831reefdad]

Just take a razor and scrape it off plug? Plug is glued to rock.

 

[JVU]

Not all palys are dangerous for palytoxin, but palythoa grandis are (your last image).

 

[B the Nano Reefer]

Just take a razor and scrape it off plug? Plug is glued to rock.

Yes razor blade right against the plug at the base of the polyp. Looks like a big polyp so shouldn’t be difficult. If you can do it in the tank under water, even better. Wear gloves, don’t cut yourself. Glue the polyp to a new plug
