Default Cream colored Palythoas

Got these a few weeks back from the LFS and they seem to be doing well. Anyone have an identification or place of origin on these?
I notice the ring on the disk of the younger changing into stripes on the med and completely striped on the largest.

Those look like cinnamon polyps to me. Very rare. What a great find. If it is indeed the cinnamons, they will grow HUGE!

These look closer to cinnamon? Since adding these a few buds have popped up behind the larger.
I can get more of these if anyone is interested. PM me.

Yeah I definitely think they are Protopalythoa grandis. What's nice is the change of colors. My favorite is when I can get them to turn green and white. It's like a shiny green too. Very metallic.
