Zoanthids really don't have names. Some common color morphs have nicknames -- like radioactive dragon eyes, whammin watermelons, etc. But the name of your zoanthid rock is simply zoanthid rock. ;)

They do look like deepwater zoas. They tend to be smaller in size, and more tightly packed.

Not all zoas have names, in fact there are just as many no name zoas as named. A good reference is Coralpedia.com. You can find pics and names of all of them.

ZoaId is another good site for named zoas and paly's

Yeah, like every coral in the world, ID for every single one of them is very difficult 'cus there are a lot of mutations. But here are some names to help you out:

• Green sea mats- Zoanthus pulchellus, Z. sociatus
• Green zoanthids- Protopalythoa spp.
• White/brown Caribean zoanthid- Palythoa caribeaorum
