Hey, I see you have krak gods and psychosis there, guessing you've got a pretty good collection. As for the ones in question the green radial barring pre-skirt makes them difficult to place. It's reminiscent of a leprechaun (which it's clearly not). I can see why someone would look at the center and think pink diamond.

Was this a wild strain that came in on a puck? How long have you had them for? Any observable morphing during that time? I have something very similar that was indeed maricultured on an indo puck (I'll attach photos). Mine have been cooking a few months and don't present as nicely as yours (apologies for the deep blue).

In my opinion these likely belong in the pink hallucination group. There isn't an OG consensus picture I can point you to. However, Reef Koi did post one in http://www.zoabrary.com/Zoa/Pink_Hallucination worth consulting. It bears repeating, there's no OG example of a pink hall to point to... the name has been attached to a number of or pink/purple and green zoa morphs by various vendors...there's also the question as to whether its changed at all while you've had it.

All different answers, all close enough but wrong….naming zoas is just silly to me. Too many variations for the same colors mixed in different patterns like a finger print.
Reef Koi is my LFS and I have these from him and he calls them Purple Monsters. I call them weeds because they grow so fast.
looks like the purple monsters I bought too. Pretty sure my lfs doesn’t know all 20,000 different patterns and names. So purple monster was close enough for me haha

I have them too and were told Purple monsters but like I said I call them weeds because they grow so fast. I also agree there are too many that look too close to each other and the name game is out of hand.
