#1 is some sort of protopaly. Kinda make me think of the camithoas. Mixed in are some others, maybe Imposter type palys or something.
#2 is a somewhat common zoa I've seen under a few names. Can vary under diff. lighting. That looks like it's a mounted frag. What did the person you got it from call it? CCF called 'em Purple Coronas or something.
#3 I'm not sure, and it's kinda dark and blue (lighting) so it's hard to tell.
#4 looks like a Miami Hurricane zoa polyp
#5 Looks like some wild Kedds Reds types, but they seem to lack the blue centers.
Again, some of these look like they were mounted frags bought from someone, so I would refer to them for names first.

They are names I've never heard of or seen.
#1 Pink Elephants - I was told they are from Donovan of Juicy Corals. It doesn't look like them.
mixed green is unkown.
#2 purchased unnamed.
#3 Mint Julep - I can't find any pictures of it.
#4 simply an interesting morph in a cluster of cheap zoas that I mounted.
#5 Pooky Red - so I was told.
I was hoping for confirmation of one of the names..
Pink Elephants look different here:

Thanks for your help.

Yeah, definitely not the real pink elephants. They do seem to have a pinkish quality though. I would guess the namer in this case was taking liberties with using the name, quite possibly not with innocent intentions. The true Pink Elephants were just made an LE by Tyree, and therefore have skyrocketed in "Value" and/or desirability. Hopefully, though, you didn't pay too much for those.

I didn't think they matched the couple of pictures I've seen of Pink Elephants.
I received those as a gift from a friend that I believe has had them in his tank for a couple of years.
Is it possible that Tyree improved or stumbled up an improved morph?
I'll see if I can get a more true color photo of these. I've found when I set the white balance on my camera it is good at rendering a nice image of corals while removing some of the "actinic magic".

The true pink elephants have been around a long time; a long time before Tyree put his stamp on them. They are pretty distinct, and though they can vary in appearance somewhat by lighting, they hold the general color pattern of a blue center, green outer rim, and pinkish skirts. The vividity of these colors can vary, but I've never seen them look like yours.
I actually now have three different morphs that I have acquired as Pink Elephants, each subtly different, but they all hold the same color pattern. I'll probably try to get a group pic of them some time to compare them. I'm not sure which is the original--Tyree versus the other two, but they are all very nice palys, IMO.
