zooanthid ID?

[Green Mariner]

I have these zooanthids that came in as hitchhikers and I have no idea what they are. They are black with gold flecks in them, and they have purple bases, when they are closed it is hard to tell the difference between them and the coralline algae. They are the ones above the green ones, they look very cool under actinics. Sorry for the big pic!

If your rock is caribbean I would guess zoanthus pulchellus but I think the chances of getting an accurate id are pretty slim.

Thanks 2poor!

Does anyone else have these, or know of a common name for the ones above the green ones?
