Definitely looks like a Paly to me, but never seen one so white under white light (the blue is probably just the white paly reflecting the blue LED light).
I think you should name them... White Walker Palys!

Here are some additional photos in case it helps...
This is the coral with the light pointed away from the tank, directed to the adjacent wall.
This is a closer photo of the "zoas" under blue light.

Looks to me like either nuclear green or baby pink paly - the change in lighting in pics makes it hard to determineHere are some additional photos in case it helps...

they’re 100% hawaiian, that, i am certain of…
just can’t tell if they’re people eaters, ding dangs or this other hawaiian that was popular back in 2017 that i don’t remember the name or right now

My Strats close like those Palys.Zoa doesn’t have stalks like that. Palythoa does
Closed zoa in front vs closed palythoa in the back

A lot of zoas mistakenly get called palys due to size. @encrustingacro has been fighting this fight for awhile now and dishing up the correct zoa species. They could likely help you out there.
As for trade names its likely a Hawaiian People Eater (PE), Ding Dang, Yeti or something of that ilk. Without any sort of distinguishing characteristic any more specific ID beyond that is just guessing. These guys, like the agave family, have a tendency to vary greatly in presentation based on aquarium parameters.
