probably something like pink hubba bubba bazooka zoas or something like that according to all the best coral retailers

... I think you got yourself some cool lookin pink zoanthids
I thought they looked like zoas a bit too but I wasn't sure they looked different to me when closed up. Here is an image of them closed

I'm starting to wonder if these are a gonipora not a zoanthid. Any thoughts
You are right.
Possibly a goni is my guess also, but with the state it's in it's hard to be 100%. It's an LPS on its death bed that's for sure.
Would be fantastic if you could get it to recover. Nice color on it. It's mostly a coral skeleton with a few surviving polyps. They should not be spread out like that, they should be one contiguous patch of polyps.

If what they are attached to is the skeleton of dead former polyps of the same colony, then they are not zoas, which are soft corals (no skeleton). They look like gonis to me, but could be some other lps.
