Are these grim reapers?

I see so many different morphs of grim reapers and want to know if this is what people see as true grims before I pick them up

Grim reapers were originally released by UC (zoanthids.com) And are known for having a black base with highlighter yellow (sometimes light green) random speckles/blotches all over including the skirt. The photo you have looks like it’s brown, not black. The pattern on the photo you provided have a significant amount of repeating pattern (see the outer ring of the adult polyps near the bottom of the colony has a flower petal pattern) and also seem to be a weird color. Here are some photos of genuine grims :)

Name game remains the same and only ourselves are to blame.
