I'm with Denny on both accounts here, its a very nice polyp but certainly not a true "Campfire". Probably zoanthus gigantus to boot, its a large misconception that many of the polyps we collect are "Palys" when infact almost all are zoanthus (Captain Americas, Purple Death, Nuc Greens are a few exceptions though).

Size has nothing to do with it .
