    They come in all different shapes and sizes ;) I have noticed with mine the tentacles can get longer when moved into higher flow.

    One reason they have long skirts is because they're not paly's, they're zoanthids, lol.

    Oops my bads, this might sound silly but I thought Palys were bigger and Zoas were smaller... :lol::loco::bouncylau:dizzy2::inquisiti:trampolin.. I don't think I really ever researched that.
