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)

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

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
