    Zoas are smaller and tend to be more colorful while Palys are big and annoying and overgrow everything.

    They can be, even though LPS tends to kill palys more often then the opposite.

    IMO i like palys alot more, if you get some nice ones, like magicains, or pink ziippers, you can feed them (cuz palys are cooler to feed) and they grow like crazy.

    I have both magicians and pink zippers 8) Those are the kind that I have trouble telling whether they are a zoa or a paly.
