I got these zoanthids for free some time ago and I never got the name of them. Any ideas?

Anyone?

Which ones? The ones in the back, might be bam bams. Not sure on the others.

The ones in the middle behind the utter chaos

Bam bams are more orange. Imo they look more like washed out gorilla nipples

They loom like Bam Bams to me too.

I'm still thinking bam bams. At least that's what I bought mine as, which look quite similar.

Maybe it's the lighting, totally missed the orange skirts. My bad yall. I'm on board with bams bams. Under some blues and with some supplements, those things will pop

I’m certainly no expert!

Here’s my new colony under blues.Haven’t gotten a good whites pic yet.

Their skirt is a very dull orange. This is all blue light picture with a filter I had some other bam bam and their orange was way more vibrant and defined

Here's my frag in the middle

Its a run of the mill no namer. Zoas similar to that guy often come in as assorted zoa colonies and depending on the wholesaler/retailer they'll either chop them up or sell the colony as a whole.

Main reason I'm worried about name is my lfs will give me credit for a fish I need but I have to have a name to go with the corals

Orange Oxides?

That’s a possibility too! Mine look a bit dull in daylight but my LFS said they dulled because they didn’t have them under good lights for a while. They look amazing under the blues.

From pictures I’ve seen, looks like bam bams have orange at the center but the oxides have purple at the center.

Well then from pictures I've seen Oxides have a purple/brown mouth with a orange ring(ring size can vary in size) around that then a purple/brown ring around that and orange tentacles.
Bam Bams are a much brighter orange than oxides. Just from pictures I've seen and the Oxides I own. So you might be right.
