Can you help me ID these Zoas?

I got a 2 head frag of Utter Chaos from Killer corals and its grown to 6 heads now plus 1 head of a totally different looking Zoa. Can you ID what this blue on is mixed in the Utter Chaos?

Can you take some pictures under white lights? I can't tell much about those.

Utter Chaos are really prone to morphing, that might actually be an Utter Chaos polyp. You could always gently blow on the frag with a pipette to make it close up, so you can see if that polyp is attached to the rest.

The other ones look a little like maybe Nuclear Green palys, but it's hard to tell under such intense blue. Again, white lights.

I agree with you, I don’t think that’s an utter chaos. It totally lacks the orange and has a colored mouth. Disturb the polyps to see if they’re attached to each other and if that one isn’t then it’s definitely a different zoa. My money is on Blue Kiss. The second is a nuclear green
