    I turned on my MH lights very briefly and I was looking at the rock my yellow polyps are on and seen something I never seen before, tucked away amongst the branches was this guy, small colony of about 8 animals, under the MH lights the center was very bright metallic green and the rest of it was almost red, they are very very small and I am sorry about the pic, I took about 40 pics with different lighting and this was the best one, Good Luck!!

    Zoanthids come in such a small size? hahaha! there pretty what ever they are, wish they were bigger, would make a great addition for sure. I'll do a search and see what I kind find in green and red. good start.

    All colonies started from a single polyp at some point. :)
