First softies... Not sure if i have a zoa or Paly???
Okay so visited the best store ever today ... The whole place is nothing but frag tanks everywhere with everything you can think of for 1/3 of what you would pay anywhere else. Well my tank (20gal tall) has 1 clown fish, 2 turbo snails, and 2 hermies. Everything has been stable so i decided to get some zoas. I picked out 3 awesome looking frags. Other than 2 of the heads turning upside down they seem to be doing great. I am having trouble figuring out what the names are for what i have so o thought you all could help me out... The 3rd i will have to post a pic of later because at the moment he is still adjusting and is not out fully... Please help me out not sure if they Are a paly or zoa.

these are probably zoanthids. but look closely. you'll find sand particles on body columns if palythoas.

Most palys show a - slit for a mouth while most zoas have a round mouth. Most palys have a visible stalk sometimes you can see sand particles inside them. Most zoas grow shorter like a mat. The care is basically the same but the taller palys can grow to shade the zoas which is a good reason to give them a little distance, otherwise they get along fine together.
