Do these zoanthids look healthy?

I am aware that zoanthids have names that describe their color morph. Ailen eyes, Alien Eye , etc.
What would you call these?

I would say that they look healthy.

I'm not really into the whole zoanthid naming game, but I would say those would be better off called eagle eyes more so than others
