No name is uniform for any of them. I have two of the different colonies you showed. Some say Eagle Eye, some say Dragon Eye, some just red for the red ones. Some just say Green rimmed with Orange Eyes for those. I go with the color rather than the fancy shmancy names cause you will only see those when you see them for sale. The bi color are apparently more rare than the solid, but that I think is only true for the more flourescent colors. Browns and drabs are way more common than the ones you have. At the same time, nobody will possibly agree with any given name until the world ends. lol

So many people call the same zoa like 15 different names theres no point in bothering to figure out what its called. Give one of your zoas a nice name, then try to sell it for $20 a polyp, thats all that the people do with the really "rare" zoas.

go to http://www.zoaid.com This web site has become the center for zoa names. They don't sell zoas but a place where collectors go.
Yes you will see the same zoa with 15 different names, but at least you can match them up and go with a "standard".
It like the saying "a rose by any other name"
Yes, sellers love to use the terms "rare" or "hard to find" " "these sell for X amount per polyp at your LFS"
Having a site that a lot of keepers use to find the name of a certain zoa helps a lot and helps stamp out other names because a seller like their name better.
In reality a names brings more money, why? because a keeper can say I have "X" zoas
