Sorry about the bad pics, it's not fully open and it's in a bad spot for clear photos anyway.

So, I spotted a colony of this at my LFS. 15ish polyps on a skeleton coral branch. They wanted $100something for it, and it was large enough that I'd have nowhere to put it, so I asked if they had a smaller piece. They did. This guy, $20.
Now, I'm happy with this whatever it is, it's really pretty. But this looks a lot like some zoas I've seen online for quite a high price. Is this one of those? Is it possible to tell from this photo, or do I need it to open up more and get a really nice shot? If it helps, there were adults in the colony that were about half an inch across. This one's a baby at about a quarter inch.
Also, if anyone knows what this is, how do I treat it? I'd love a colony of these. Also love to be able to sell some, if they fetch anywhere near the price I'm thinking. And I'm thinking I've seen 3-polyp frags for about as much as my LFS wanted for the entire colony.
