I got these the other day - zoas and palys. The zoas look to be purple-ish and blue-ish with maybe red. The palys are interesting though - closed up, they remind me of hazelnuts. Open, they look like buttons. They seem to have a reddish-brown-tan-fluro-green thing going on. I'm also interested in the white tag thing they each have on one side - i have an idea this is the clue to ID-ing species since I've had a google and spotted other palys with the same white tag bit but different patterns.
They're not your typical bright colors but attractive in their autumn shades, none the less.
I have reason to believe they're from the NT too. And i suspect they have palytoxin because i happened to touch them and they were very slimy *yuk!*
Anybody seen them before?

They're just zoas and palys to me.
Even the cheap brown ones that nobody wants to buy can turn red, pink, purple or maroons under good lighting and water conditions.
