I'm certainly not an expert, and I wouldn't argue with anyone, but if you go to the ZoaID site and pull up the pictures of these two zoas, then lay them side by side on your computer, you will see that their is virtually no difference in the pics. In fact, check this thread for a shortcut to the links at ZooID

haha, well under the eagle there are the golden ones i was referring to, but looks like they mixed in the red versions too, so oh well, they're zoos so doesn't really matter

As the photos are put into the ID thread they will be deleted off this thread.
some photos will be alternated only to be able to upload them onto SWF.com.
check out the thread that has the IDs here https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/322311/zooanthid-database-picture-intense-thread#post_2626754

if it works then we can start another one on a different coral species.

Cammiethoas. Unspectacular but I got be be the namer so

They are prevalent growing mostly with Green dragon eyes and Wammin watermelons. They grow fast crowding out other zoanthids and slime like crazy when removed from water. Other than that I don't know much abotu them. They do seem to grow equally well in any type of lighting and intensity.

If I am not mistaken the gorilla nipples have been refered to mostly by the name Pink Panthers.
The Gorilla nipples I have seen are orange center, green face, brown skirt. Least wise both have been commonly accepted as such.
Thanks I added the pink panthers as a AKA
