I have seen them sold as "Deadpool Blastos" I love that color variant. I had some very similar but without the black. They were solid bright red polyps with neon green mouths.
I believe they are a Blastomussa Wellsi. If you were looking for type and not trade name.

Just did some googlin’ and seems Deadpool is all red and no strips. But then I found this which looks extremely similar to my daytime pic

50$ per head! I got a deal then! I got the mini colony of 10 heads for 60!

Apologies. Deadpool is what I had. Those I have seen QCC selling as “Black Widow” Blastomussa.
No matter what they’re called, you certainly got a deal. Beautiful specimen.
