Hi,
Among a colony of zoas which I’ve identified to likely be watermelon zoas, there’s one that looks quite different. It doesn’t spread as much as the others, but appears to be a different species, as it is both smaller in diameter and is basically inverted in color. Any idea of what it is? Note that the skirt is a much brighter red than what is pictured below.

Could just be a color morph. I’ve got a purple monster that turned a deep brown with lime green skirt I call the “Woller monster” (woller being an eastern Ky term for rolling around making a mess).
