Just wondering if anyone knows/can confirm the names on these? Bought them at neptunes a while back. The employee said the paly’s are long haired palys, zoas are candy apples. Pictures are pretty close to how they look irl, the paly’s fluoresce a kind of pink color under blues

Hopefully it's not narvinas or pandoras kinda looks like them in bottom picture. They grow a little to well. I went from 2 polyps to 40 in 2 months. They grew all on the frag racks as well.

Again not certain that's what it is. But I would urge caution on letting Palythoas touch your main rock structure (keep them on their own rock). They can really take off and go from being interesting to a nightmare quickly.

Yeah, I saw, that was crazy lol. I took a look, doesnt look like nirvanas, pandoras look a bit similar, but I dont think its an exact match. I’ll try to get a better picture tomorrow

First pic looks like the gold maul Zoa. Second one I agree with the rest, pandoras.
 
Also to be clear I do really think they are pandoras I had some at one point. if yours apear slightly different write it off as different water conditions and lighting photos of the same coral in different tanks will rarely match what you see in front of you. Most likely a customer traded them in because they were growing well. :)

Definitely makes sense, sounds about right. Anemone moved and stung them a good bunch today lol. I really like how they look, just gonna keep em isolated and frag occasionally
