Zoanthid names

[jason9jay]

With all the different names of the different zoanthid color morphs, it is hard to determine a name for my colonies. I was wondering if anyone knew the names for these color morphs?

I like to call 'em zoanthids but thats just me.

I hate the name game.

The name game is just pure silliness. It's like trying to name a different race of humans for every combination of hair color, eye color, and skin color.

They're all zoanthus, just different color variations and there is no authority on the naming, so it's silly to continue it...

Those names are accurate with what zoaid.com says.

Heaven forbid that we end up with all kind of crazy names like the dog breeders have

Currently, FCI recognizes nearly 400 dog breeds and varieties worldwide. Those that are unknown in the United States are often termed "rare breeds," which some are, indeed. Others are common-place in their homeland, but still relatively unheard of in some areas of the world.
