not exact matches, but very similar. Yours may be these names, just morphed a little due to lighting, water, etc

1- star gazers/ daisy cutters
2-dragon eyes
3- purple monster
4- Blondies

That third frag looks like two different kinds. The ones on the left could be purple monster, and the ones on the right look like the orange-eyed no-name zoanthids KP Aquatics sells. Except for the green eye, of course. Probably a relative.

You’re right, those are real WWC purple monster. A lot of people are calling any purple center green skirt zoas purple monsters these days.

yours are very vibrant!

1. I know em as “alien eggs” that’s what top shelf calls something similar to that it’s a Florida species...
2. Probs “dragon eyes “

3. not purple monsters from WWC but something rather similar no specific ID that I can think off or have seen because I don’t think they’re “jokers”

4. blondies
