not really sure what these are, the little white/brown polyps next to the small monti frag. anyone have a clue? and please ignore Lil Stinky, my tailspot blenny, he tends to stare rudely.

Other than telling you it's one of the colonia anemones "Zoanthus" no. A lot of them are very hard to tell apart! Nice hardy critters but, wear gloves if you need to handle it! Have a dedicated bucket for your reef tanks the toxins they release are either the second or third most toxic substance known to man kind . I'd also always add a bag of carbon to my sump prior to any introduction.

looks like a standard button polyp. they are similar to zoos but not zoos. they will spread with a thin vein along the rock. they like higher flow and will eat larger foods (even flake) very easy to keep.
Just light and disolved organics are enough for them. They won't spread as fast either! If they are close to anything you have that you like you may want to seperate them before they over grow it.
