I've looked and looked and can't find any zoas that look like these. Any idea what they might be?

Are the centers orange?
If so, they look like they might be Rainbow Incinerators.
 
You're right! They look very similar to rainbow incinerators. I hadn't noticed that. They have the green lashes and the exact same pattern. I have incinerators in the same tank, though, and these are definitely different. My incinerators have an orange mouth, then a dark inner ring (or base color), then an orange outer ring. These have a light beige mouth, a dark inner ring (or base color), and then a light pink outer ring. (Pinker than what the photo shows; I couldn't get the colors exactly right.)
 
Wow! I think you're exactly right. If that's not what mine are, then they were at least separated at birth

How in the world did you find these? I can't find "jupiter zoas" or "jupiter zoanthids" literally anywhere else.
 
I literally just started going through different sites that sell zoas and seeing if there was a match :P
Unfortunately that seems to be the best method we have for now. I keep thinking of making some kind of zoa database or spreadsheet that allows me to specify colors for specific parts (e.g. edge, mouth, body, etc) so you can more easily search based on the specific color pattern you have.
