Hawaiian People Eaters/Ding Dangs: is there a difference?

[Adiantum]

Is there a marked difference in the varieties of Zoanthus gigantus that are sold as Hawaiian PE and ding dangs?

I’m considering snagging some of one or both but don’t know if it’s worth buying both. These seem to show variation or change in color pattern based on environment? At least from what I’ve read.

Depends on lighting and other tank variations. Me and @footgal are going to trade polyps of chuckys bride and pink hippo as they seem to be the same thing but may morph differently

I don’t believe there’s a difference between the hawaiian zoas. I have yeti, ding Dangs, Hawaiian PE, Hawaiian nebulas, and they’re all exactly the same after they’ve been in the same tank for a couple months. Keeping them in higher light will yield a (imo) prettier pink color but if the light is lower they’ll be a green nebula pattern

Excellent! Just what I needed to know.
