We're DEFINITELY trying. There cool nonetheless. With so many names sometimes getting an ID on a paly can be tough. It's some kind of morph of a red people eaters, much better looking though.

Those are a little tricky because they have characteristics of well known zoas but they are a little different. The look a little CC Top Shelf Palys to me, see here: http://coralcollection.bigcartel.com/product/cc-top-shelf-paly

But they also seem to have some white mottling near the center like Utters just not as pronounced , as well as a dark ring just around the outside like vdm. Also where they are in the tank as well as lighting can greatly effect the coloration. How long have you had them? Have you tried moving them around to see if that makes the pattern more or less pronounced?
