I have 2 colonies of Zoas that came with some live rock I bought.

First image:
The orange is much brighter IRL and these are larger at 1cm across.

Second image:
There are a few tiny red spots in the centres that you can't quite make out, but the green is true to life.
These are smaller at about 0.5 cm across.

An ID would be much appreciated :)

The second one, my first thought is a Joker Zoa?? Idk, I think jokers are more purple than black, possibly a purple people eater but a black morph because the mouth is still green? I dunno, but very unique zoas and very nice pics of them!
 
After playing around with my phone camera for an hour or so I think I finally got it as close as I can. Here are some better pictures. I was able to get the red spots captured. Excuse the sad polyp in the first image haha.

First image solved! After scrolling through pictures for an eternity It seems to be some kind of red people eater! Still unsure about the 2nd one. Thanks for the help so far!
