ok, id experts i really need some help

[Marine Flora]

i was digging through the corals and found what i thought were the most brightest zoanthids ever. upon closer inspection and using my thumb to try to get the polyps to close... it had a skeleton! i immediately set it aside for purchase

i've never seen anything like this before. it kinda reminds me of the blasto merletti but i've never seen a color morph like this on a merlitti.

here is a photo w/ actinic and flash
