Thank you... can't wait to get better at naming them. Only means I'm buying more. That last one by itself had a little aiptasia on it so I tossed it in my other tank thinking it isn't ready but whatever... and it's doing really good, curious what it is
 
Yeah, I went ahead and pulled that guy from the tank so I can treat it and not risk the main.

Im really curious what zoa that is.
Does it look like any of these?

Also, you can pull that frag, scrape the aiptasia off (really gotta get in there good because it will retract deep), give it a good rinse, and then put it back in the tank and see if the aiptasia comes back.

No it looks to be all green with an orange center.

I gave it a good dip but didn't want to dig into the coral because of how deep it goes and I wanted to give the coral some time to relax before picking at it. I probably will though after a day or two of working up some courage. When I dipped it copapods came off and then I saw the aiptasia 🙄. Lol

Your photo looks almost identical to the second photo of Blowpops on that page. Is that not what they look like in real life though?

It does kind of resemble the 3rd photo in there. If it is stepping outside if green its almost an emerald or blue-green around the center.
 
Orange bam bams, magicians are back left. Front left are gorilla nips and a hornet of some kind.

Gonna need better individual pictures to get ID’s on the others
Here is a flipped angle, I will definitely work on getting individuals but this seemed like a little better of a pic.
Thank you, I will definitely work on that, appreciate the help for sure.

So the green with orange center that has the darker lashes are the gorilla nips. The ones with the green lashes look like Miami hurricanes. The first ones might be circus. The red with splotched yellow center are the magicians. The purple are one of the hornets, someone mentioned which one up above that may be correct. The orange are the bam bams

Does the one that has the tiny aiptasia look like a duplicate of the gorilla nips to you? It's the one in the black sand
 
That’s a very nice mystery pack, good selection of Zoas in my opinion.
I’m not 100% on all of them but here’s my best guess going from left to right.

Front:
Not sure
Yellow Hornets
Eagle Eyes
Not sure
Not sure

Rear:
Bam Bams
Salted Agave or White Zombies
Gorilla Nipples?
Blowpops

I’ll see if I can do some more research on my lunch break on the 3 front row ones I’m not sure of.
 
Went back and re-read through here and did some googling. @Hunna’s Stunnas is pretty spot on. Though maybe Green Bay packers and not hurricanes? I dunno, from what I can find they’re very similar.

Updated List

Front:
Gorilla Nipples
Yellow Hornets
Eagle Eyes
Really struggling with this one. The closest I can find are Nebula zoas
Circus

Rear:
Bam Bams
Magicians
Green Bay Packers or Hurricanes
Blowpops
