I got a big colony of Zoas and there were 2 of these on the branch...a week later they were no longer on the branch but on a totally different rock. One of them split/grew another polyp. Are these a form of an anemone?

It is purple with green skirts. Within the purple it looks like fairy dust(white spots).

Maybe a tulip anemone?/?

better pix please, use a tripod with overhead direct lighting on a solid dark background in a shallow dish or petri with something (a coin) for scale.

Sorry so late but that is the best pic I canget of them. I will try again because they moved. If it is an anemone...how fast do they grow?

It looks exactly like a zoa.

It may be a zoanthid, but it will be necessary to get another pic to give any decent ID. Growth rates of anything in the tank are varied on quite a few factors, so it's very hard to say.

To hard to be sure from that pic.

i have those to! they look exactly like a zoa, but im not sure they are... i would like to know what they are as well

I don't think they are zoas, they move from spot to spot. I never see any actual movements but I'll see one on a rock then it's gone and reappear on a different rock.
