Here are my two favorites.

The paly grandis are one of the only survivors from my 2014 tank crash. These have been in the club for years. I left the hobby and my buddy was nice enough to return these to me. This picture was taken today. Started as 4 heads, and each head is about the size of a silver dollar. Originally, they were basic brown and white but have gained blues and greens over the years. Currently at 21 heads. Slow grower for sure but they are hardy. I like the large form factor on palys.



Next are some Steel Plays I had in that same crashed tank. Super easy paly to grow. Weedy almost. Don't see Steel Palys being sold or traded much any more. Hope the video link works. My clowns thought these things were an anemone.

This was my favourite:

King Midas.

It melted when I had a mishap.

I've seen numerous threads were individuals post of pictures of their favorite single polyp or their most expensive single polyp, and I've contributed to a number of those as well. And of course we always have the "Eye Candy" thread, but I also really enjoy the look of a tank with large zoa colonies grown out. I currently have several in my tank that are spreading out quite nicely with dozens of polyps; Copper Rings, Tubb's Blue, a mixed colony of Pink Panthers and Mint Chocolate Chip, and a paly colony. I'll post up some pictures here in a bit, but in the mean time, lets see your pictures of your favorite colony or colonies (must be over two dozen polyps in the picture).

Lets try to stick to grown in colony shots with 2 dozen or so polyps, NO frag plugs, frag discs, or egg crate showing PLEASE. Plug shots can go in the eye candy thread (here: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/zoa-discussion-club-zoa/11-eye-candy-zoas-palys.html), lets try and keep this one to the grown in colony look. Also, please avoid references to trading or selling in the thread. Thanks all, now lets see some colonies!

Nothing like a zoea:
