Talking Possible Zoanthid Hybrids???

I tried my best to take better pictures but this is the best I could do. I have two different types of zoos on this rock. The bottom ones are dragon eyes (red center with yellow skirts). I'm not sure what the ones right next to them are called but they have green centers with orange skirts. Now come the ones I think might be hybrids. The ones right above have green centers with orange splothces as well as a mix of yellow and orange skirts. Look at the pics and decide for yourself. I'm by no means an expert in this matter:

i've witnessed this with a mixed colony of bam bams and dragon eyes, but they seem to revert back to normal colors after a bit.

I'll wait a while and see if they change back. If they don't i'll call them Psycadelics.
