What species is this ?

Hi guys , I bought this zoanthid from a fish store recently, but I’m wandering what is the name of this zoanthid. It is a pink body with white tentacles. I searched all over the internet about this but unfortunately it couldn’t find anything about it. Any idea ?

Looks like purple people eaters

Hmm but it seems a bit different

FYI Zoa species has very little to do with color. Afaik all the people eater zoas and maybe also many of the bigger ones like all the vampires etc. are the same species, Zoanthus gigantus

They are all color morphs of the same species AFAIK. The "popular" name is just that - what someone called it in order to command a higher price.
