Button polyp. Its a protopalythoa. medium to low light and medium to low flow. Like all zoas and palys wear gloves to frag. Their toxins can be dangerous if you were to ingest them, get them in your eyes or in a cut on your hand

Kinda like this:

Love my buttons. They are brown in my pod but were a very nice green under my mh in the 90. They love frozen mysis too.

Phil I've noticed that you've posted quite a number of ID threads for things you've purchased. Might I suggest something?

The book, "Corals, a Quick Reference Guide" by Julian Sprung. I used to bring this with me when I shopped, in order to research my possible purchases "on the spot" - especially if the store I was at didn't have knowledgable staff or if they're too busy to answer 100 questions, then I'd have the book there to quickly identify what I wanted and whether or not I could look after it.

You may save yourself some money and perhaps some inappropriate choices.

fly is right on. non-book answer just from exp. you can put them just about anywhere mid tank and down and they will live, BUT they higher the light the less color you will get from them. They grow like a almost like a weed in my tank so fragging is easy just wash your hands after you are done and like your mother always told you dont touch your face

If you really want to frag your button polyps what I have done in the past to make it easier on myself is place small rock(rock rubble)next to the colony on the bottom of my tank and as the colony grows I just just take the rock away when I am ready to frag.
