If the PE type coral is now Zoanthid Gigantus, that would mean zoanthid is a genus, and Gigantus is the species correct?

So what is the species of the regular zoanthids?
there are hundred, maybe thousands of other species of zoanthus,

it is a very poorly studied area taxonomy-wise, so we don't really know how many species there are. i am basing the hundreds on my own judgement, based on how many different sizes and designs i have seen.
