Personally, if someone asks about a certain zoo type that I have, I'll just say "oh, those red ones, or the orange one with the green skirt and the yellow mouth?" I've never tried learning the common or uncommon names for zoos because it just leads to more arguments and disagreements, unless there is a consensus on what name goes with what colour combination. Zoos also look different under each person's lighting, so that adds to the confusion. I always thought a lot of names were regional in origin, but I don't know for sure who named them. Are zoo names specific to just the colour combination or are small ones differently named from larger polyps? The only ones I name are my "red rimmed Palys" but that's because it's descriptive in nature. They literally are palys with a red rim.
However, if both parties know exactly what each name refers to, then I can see using those names making sense.
