Actually the second one is a completely different zoanthid. The skirt is much browner. I have them side by side in my tank, and there is no comparison.

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.

Too much technicality for some zoanthids if you asked me. Zoos are zoos are zoos are zoos.. they're all nice (for the most part) and they can all just as easily be classified as premium and as high quality if we didn't know any better.... of course this is IMO .

So ivy is your avatar pink rim people eaters? or red people eaters? I think that while its pretty easy to just call them by color ie. pink skirt,maroon disk,green mouth.I also think some should have a name because of rarity and popularity,and thats why they have a standard name.Its kinda stupid how it can jack a price up tho.
