Light pink zoanthus

[Florida_blue]

Hello,
I've just got those little ones and I cannot find them anywhere , I took this pic with flash, and the colour is true.

Would be grateful if you could help me to identify them

And more pictures, different light

Any ideas? I've found out, that they can be bleached zoas, bought them from larger rock covered with different zoas, they had normal colors...

Can be acid reflux that loss a bit of color

Looks like something I had called "Raspberry Limeade", a touch on the bleached side but appears heatlthy

Looks like them. Could also be a morph of lunar eclipse too.( they're darker though)

Thanks a lot for answers, I thought I had found something quite rare, because I've never seen such zoas before and was so happy to get them now it appears they might be bleached...

If they ARE bleached, what should I do? Is there anything could be done to improve their condition?
First two pictures I took with flash, the other in blue. They look really nice.

if they are bleached (I dont think ive ever seen bleached zoas/palys) then move them as low in the tank as you can-less light-until they color up

They are as low as possible, but not in the shade

I mean I have them since Friday, that's not too long

I took another picture, this time with camera Pentax k50 and they look quite similar to your picture, ahiggins.
Maybe they really lost some colour ?

 

[ahiggins]

It doesn't look like they lost color to me they look gooooooooood

+1 acid reflux

 

[Florida_blue]

Unfortunately, they all died... I tried to move them to another place, out of light, but they died anyway

Maybe there was a war between corals you didn't see going on. Looks a little crowded.
I had some hyper pink ones battling with a frogspawn. Frogspawn was winning. Now they are happy and healthy since I moved the frogspawn.
What kind of lights and flow did you have them at?

 

[Florida_blue]

Or maybe they really had no zooxantelles? All other does I have are ok, only once before I had zoas that died. I have salty tank for 1 year now, and got guite a lot different zoas, I believe 15 I use led light.

I have 11 zoanthids now. Rastas that were giving 1 polyp a month now 5. They are slow growers. Not anymore
Had 4 when I got the frag back in July. Only 4 grew out till the beginning of December to make 8 total then. Now 18 fully matured and 6 new heads ready to bloom this month.
Had a dragons eyes with 7. Now 34

Wow someday we will have rastas too now the most "rare & expensive" I have are: sunnyD and nightmare (however im not sure, maybe Valentine's day massacre) Both frags 1 polip. sunny d has grown up to 8 polips since September. And nightmare I bought this month.
