what type of polyps are these?

[beeguiles]

Hello. I just set up a 29 gallon about a month ago and I bought a few starter corals. I got some Polyps because I love how they glow but I forgot to look at the name at the store. My tank is cycled. I had seeded filter media and I have the marineland LED lighting system with the white and blue lights. Thanks in advance. :)

I have green people eaters that look a little like your first one. But mine have the bright mouth...

What do you mean by "filter media"?

 

[beeguiles]

I have a 55 HOB aquaclear filter. The filter media I have is sponge and bio modules. I got these from another mature tank to speed up the cycling process.

That type of coral is a Zoa(Zoanthids). There are so many names and types of them.

Smitty, all three are zoa? In the third picture there are also these see through Polyps. They look kind of feathery. They are so hard to see in the picture. When I turn the night time lights on they glow a faint bluish. Do you know that those could be? Maybe new Polyps developing?

They could be tiny feather dusters... new polyps bud out from the mat.

I think you may have some star polyps onthe last photo, they comeout of a "matt" and look like 5 pointed stars when fully exten ded.

I think all 3 pics are of different types of zoas.

They all look like button polyps to me :)
