seem like the exact same zoa. only difference being the mouth on the left has green/yellow, where the right doesn't.

guess is "whammin watermelon" based off google lens..

Yes, these are the same zoa under different lighting, but the watermelon has short eyelashes, like the eagle's eye, and these have long eyelashes.
 
Looks like Eagle Eyes to me:

The skirt length can vary based on tank conditions. Here's one conversation about it:

I had an Eagle Eye at the same time as these animals in the aquarium, they were very different, the Eagle Eye is brighter, the polyps are smaller and grow more densely than these.
