Do you know any zoanthids that are really colorful in white light?

Opps, you did it. These are wild zoas collected in south east Florida. Photon v1, yes v1 lol, at 100% white and 60% blue. The brightest ones are from the side of rocks at a jetty and have colored up nicely in less par than I assume they got on the rock lol. The more bland ones are from about 30' deep and are starting to get more color and patterns going.

First 3 are super shallow. Also pics of one of the colonies out of the water at low tide. This is the colony the first pic posted was taken from at a distance for scale. The second after the first three is closer to the colony.

Last 2 pics are the ones from about 30' deep. They had issues on transport back and got way hot, as the pump moving water died. They have lost most their color, but are starting to color back up. The last pic of of them is the day of collection, with a Orphek Blue Coral Viewing flashlight shone on them, and a pic taken with my phone. I hope they get the crazy rainbow coloring back.
