This got I.D as an electric oompa loompa zoa from the seller but I think it is something else like the GB Rainbow troll. Any Positive I.d?

That's not an oompa loompa at the very least. Would need a picture with less blue to tell you what exactly but rainbow troll does look like a good ID.

Whatever name you want to call them works for me too. I've seen the same exact zoas called five different names.

This isn't a hobby anymore where corals are identified by scientific names. It's who comes up with the coolest name, because cool names gets stuff sold these days.

With IDing zoas I always look for defining characteristics. Oompas have an all green center with an orange skirt. Attaching a pic for reference.

rainbow troll is the right ID, good new is that the value is the same for both (at least by me).
