ID help needed! button polyps

[scorpionking]

Hi everyone,

I have these strange button polyps growing, have no idea what they are... can someone help me out by identifying them? They came on a live rock.

They're just kind of ugly, and eat like pigs.

Just look like a generic speckled green paly to me. Careful with those things, if your new to the hobby you might want to look into palytoxins. Pretty serious stuff. And the greens are some of the worst. Id remove them from the rock before they spread as they will do it very quickly. When removing them make sure you have no cuts on your hands (or just wear gloves)

just take it to the frag swap and call it blue spacemonster or whatever

Hey guys, here's some more. How about these?

brown skirt, light purple/blue rim, pink center


yellow skirt, orange middle


brown/orange stripped skirt, orange outer rim, purple/blue with white spot center


Ignore the GHA lol, long story.

First pic looks like tubbs blues. But hard to tell. If you take some better pics would be alot easier to id

[SteveCGY]

First tubbs blue maybe
Second defiantly looks like dragon eyes
Third maybe bam bam or orange oxides


But hey what the hell do I know, don't quote me

Deff not dragon eyes and not orange oxides or bam bams. Dragon eyes are green and have a slit.

Incorrect!

dragon eyes are mainly orange with a yellow/green skirt

Radio active dragon eyes are green

I would bet you your most expensive piece or coral this. And second picture is defiantly dragon eyes

[Slyguy00]

That is very possible. I was under the impression all dragon eyes have slitsthough. Makin it look like a dragon eye. I could be wrong though
