michealprater · 01-29-2003, 06:30 PM

are button polyps , zooanthids and sea mats all the same thing. May seem like a simple question but Im confused.

Nope...
Zoos = Genus-Zooanthus
Buttons = Genus-Protopalythoa
Seamats = Genus-Palythoa

Thanks. Which have the best variety of colors? Zoo's? Any online retailer that I can look at to buy some of all three genus?

IMO, zoos have the widest variety of colors, but I am a sucker for seamats too. I don't know who might offer them all at the same place. Try http://www.logicalreef.com/ for some nice zoos.

Lots of nice zoos but they are completely sold out. Thanks for the help.
