You are absolutely right. It's an Actinodiscus that's purple with blue spots. The rest are Zoanthids and maybe a Palythoa. Earth people are Homo sapiens, each having different genetic combinations. Extraterrestrials that collect earth people began some time ago to notice that they came in different base colors and shapes with different hair, eyes and personalities. Myself, I'm called a "Rosy Faced Cheeky SOB". Just in case you're wondering, SOB stands for Son Of a Blonde.

Some folks here care more about popular names than I do so they may chime in, but you can also use the pics at these websites to try to match up the colors to see what name somebody gave them that became their accepted popular name.

I like to use Zoaid.com to look for what Zoas things might be. The fourth pic down looks like pink and golds, the rest I would need to look a bit more into its been too long since I've payed attention.

Thanks Jackie, I think your right. But if you look up Spongebob they are really close. Probably the same thing actually. But i'll take Dragon Eyes that sounds much cooler :)
