For all intensive purposes, while they might look “completely different” to your naked eye, they both share the characteristics of an Orange Delight Zoanthid. I stand by that. Any deviances you may perceive in your zoo are not drastic enough to denote another zoanthid name, rather it would be considered just a morph. It would be like saying a misbarred clownfish could no longer be called a clownfish. Thankfully the hobby is not that anal in this regard.
Also note, any relatively experienced coral enthusiast knows that the same coral will look slightly different under different lights, taken with different cameras and in different tanks. The second picture could easily be tweeked to look near identical to the top picture with an 10 sec adjustment to Gamma and contrast.
