What is this?

I know its some kind of sps....i got a few frags of whatever i could break off the glass of this guy who was breaking down his tank and said whatever i could snap off was mine free

possibly a type of birds nest?









also can you ID these zoos as well? i got this whole colony basically for free almost





and these zoos as well...i got this for like $5 from a local reefer and has since sprouted double the amount of polyps from when this photo was taken

 

First one looks like a pink birdsnest or birds of paradise. The second looks like Radioactive Eyes and the third are maybe orange Bam Bams? Its had to tell with zoos they have so many variations its hard to tell between them.

 

3rd one is sold around me locally as 'armor of god' paly's. but agreed every website just about has thier own name for alot of zoas & palys just to make them sound more exotic.

 

thanks for your help

 

bump more opinions

 

+1 I think the first one looks more like birds of paradise because the polyps are so extended. Mine always looks so flowy like that. Heres mine - I love showing off because it accidentally merged with the birds nest. You an sort of see the difference in the polyp extension. I have accidentally broken a few pieces off, so now they are on my frag rack too. The polyp extension is the same for both. Although, I am not really sure what those dark spots are. Neither my birds nest or birds of paradise have those..


I also agree with the radioactive dragon eyes in the third pic (can I have one? lol).
I'm not so sure about the bam bams though. I mean mine don't look like that at all, but after googling them I guess sometimes they do have purple in the middle. My bam bams look like this

 

if you're ever near the bronx i could frag you a couple radio actives

 

Looks like a pocillopora to me.

 

Hmmm.. I am from outside of Phila. My boyfriends grandma lives on long island so we are up there every once in a while..

I think you are right. That would explain those dots, whatever they are.. I don't have any pocillopora so I didn't even think of it. Plus, the branches are so thin looking. I've got to get myself some of that! Ugh I have to start fighting this SPS addiction.

 

just let me know, the only thing i ask is when the colony grows out that you help another beginner reefer out with a small donation. I have had a few others do the same for me and would like to get people to pass it on as well
