These are zoas but will need pics under white lighting to tell what type

 

[Jaden9933]

Pretty good size colony! Depending on which zoanthids/palythoas they are, I'd say about $100 to a couple hundred. Could be more if they're real high end, but hard to know with them closed lol

 

[Jaden9933]

The middle ones kinda look like magicians under blue light. Those ones are pretty nice and a colony that nice could easily hit $100+ if so

Here is under white light. Should I be more concerned with white or blue lights using? And what par and to feed these

 

[WalkerLovesTheOcean]

Hard to tell but looks like there is bryopsis (algae) on the rock. No good!

 

[Jaden9933]

Looks like you have a purple discosoma mushroom there too. Middle ones definitely look like Magicians to me

 

[Jaden9933]

One clove polyp in the middle. I think bottom left zoas are pink cat eyes

Sorry - I don't know much about dealing with bryopsis yet. I do know that you need to remove every single part of it.

I've seen @vetteguy53081 help people with it before... maybe he can verify you have it and how to deal with it?

Not bryopsis but a similar strand known as derbesia.
This is one of the more challenging of algae due to need of its complete removal. Removal is best accomplished by taking the rock out of tank and placing in a container of tank water. Then you will want to pull as much as you can by hand and discard. With a dental pick or small crochet needle, pull the roots off the rock. YOU MUST GET EVERY ROOT OR IT WILL SIMPLY RETURN !!
After you are done return rock to tank and reduce white light intensity and even hours of white light and add the following cleaners which will help with control. These guys will consume bryopsis but not as fast as bryopsis can grow - They will never keep up.
Pin cushion urchin, Chiton snails, pitho crabs, and larger astrea snails

This procedure is not as bad or time consuming as it seems. Assure phosphate levels do not become elevated which helps feed this algae

By hand

By hand

Ok I’ll take care of it when I get home! Thank you

Fish and most cleaners will not consume it. By hand and finish with pick type tool

 

[PharmrJohn]

Oh man.....Tedious!

 

[newhere]

By hand

When I do it by hand can I put it in a bucket with reg salt water or do I have to use tank water?

I would say tank water to not stress out the coral, I also recommend a small heater to keep the water at tank temperature

Do any of these need higher than 150 par??
