Could be different species, could just be that some are more stressed out than others let them settle for a couple of days and then see what they look like.

C. zygatus get about 10-15 mm larger and the dark band has a metalic sheen to it, in C. rabauti the band is matt black and the orange shoulder blotch is a little more prominant.

There are a lot of Rabauti about now as they are breeding them in quantity in Singapore.

If you follow Corymans colour scheme you cant get it wrong.

Thanks to everyone this has helped.

looking at them have decided they are Rabauti. By the way these are wild caught.

The ones in question really are the smaller ones in the group and don't really have the orange as yet.
