What are these with my Zoas?
Hey reefers,
So I got my first frag of Zoas yesterday and there are either some polys or start polyps on the frag as well but not sure which. Can anyone identify? Also, if I want the to spread should I put another rock beside them?  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's hard to be sure from the photo but I'm reasonably sure they are either clove corals or xenia, both can spread rapidly and crowd out other corals.

It's kind of hard to tell if they're pulsing. They're swaying for sure. I though they might be Xenia which is why I got that specific frag. I'm not sure now though after reading about polyps and googling images. I m trying to take a better picture with my phone but they always turn out blueish because of the lights. Any tricks to take a proper picture?  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Isn't "clove" polyps just a generic name for a lot of different things though?
