Auction Mystery Zoas from Holiday Party

[tonytran509]

So some of you that stayed after the party for the auction knows that i bid and won two zoas that was unidentified and were closed up. Can you guys help me identify these. Thank you

The first one is Palythoa Grandis, not sure about a name for the second one I've just always heard it called Green paly.

you may want to be careful with the 2nd paly. it can grow like weeds and take over. i would isolate it to a single rock that's not attached to anything.

its on its own rock not attached to anything but i have a zoa frag on it also on the other side of the rock. Should i move the zoa?

 

[hzheng33]

in the long run yes, move the zoa.

just a matter of time that the green paly takes over based on my past experience.

Also be careful with the Paly's due to palytoxin. Wear gloves, especially if you have any cuts on your hands.
