I've tried looking these up and can't seem to find a proper ID on them so here they are:

Zoanthid 1 - These are tiny zoanthids. The surface is black with a red ring, for some reason in the picture the ring comes up a lot thicker than it is but it is 100% a defined red ring.

Zoanthid 2 - These guys have very bright orange skirts and the face of the zoanthid is a golden cream color. These are a little smaller than each eye zoanthids.

Zoanthid 3 - The purple ones in this picture are very metalic in color, as in very shiny. The skirt is grayish blue (blue could be because of the lighting though). They are about the same size as eagle eye zoanthids.

Zoanthid 4 - The ones in question are the ones with the peach centers. They're about the same size as eagle eye zoanthids.

I did look there but can't find anything that I think is a match.
