Zoa or Palythoa?

I bought some live rock and there's this zoanthid growing on it. Can someone help me ID the species?

theyre zoanthids but pretty much impossible to tell the morph in their current state

So it could be either?

by the way polyp looks its a zoanthid but what i meant by morph is color variations like rastas, scrambled eggs, bam bams, etc
in other words they'll color up into a certain morph, sort of a blind pack in this case lol

I got the live rock from a display tank in my LFS, it came with a gorilla crab as well.
I find that confusing since as far as I'm aware real live rock is illegal in my country so I have no idea where the crab could have come from since I don't think they breed in aquaria

Sounds like your lfs broke the rules a bit then best of luck with the Zoas it will be cool to see what morph the end up coloring up to be, definitely post a pic when they color up!
Happy reefing!
