Zoanthid ID, please!


I unknowingly bought these under the name of Rastas from a seller in Westchester (since I'm not out to openly disparage anyone, I won't mention a name unless through PM) and as a beginner restarting, I thought they did have a resemblance to them under the sellers lighting.
In my tank and comparing to pictures, I didn't think they looked like Rastas at all. They seem to be missing the orange/yellow ring. The seller then told me to "let them color up." On further thought, I also realized the new growth on the sides should probably look different in that case.

I've already posted on a different forum which confirmed my thoughts, but decided to just confirm on here since the seller keeps arguing with me. A day later he then offered to let me swap for a specific other zoanthid colony which he had excess of and refuses a refund. Needless to say, I'm pretty fed up with this whole ordeal.

I would appreciate your thoughts!

I feel your pain and by all means this hobby gets rough.besides trying to deal with parameter issues or crashed tanks or on a positive side having too much growth and some corals taking over..etc..etc. it's the other side and I know alot of people on here can definitely relate....buying corals from other members and not actually getting what you think your getting.we all been there one time or another.i know I have plenty of times and i been in this hobby for a very long time.anyways if you ever find yourself in queens let me know i can give you some rastas,and probably some other zoas or corals I have.dont be discouraged by the bad deal your dealt with there are alot of great knowledgeable people on here..its just weeding thru the bad algae on here to find them
