However, if you notice the image below, a lot of the zoas look “normal” when view from afar. Most zoanthids do look amazing when seen up close or when taken with a macro lens. So it’s very possible your plain jane zoas will also look just as good when you take a pic of it with a macro lens.

Like the Candy Apple Reds, these zoas also have a green center with a colorful edge and skirt. However, unlike the Candy Reds, the green portion of the zoa is smaller and a bit more erratic than the other zoas.

Even though the zoa is called Candy Apple Reds, the zoa’s primary plate color is green. Other characteristics include a white colored mouth, a colorful edge and a colorful, striped skirt.

This zoa closely resembles the Kaleidoscope morph and can sometimes be mistaken for them. Of course, both zoa would be great to add to your collection if you’re a collector that loves color.

So do you have the Candy Apple zoas in your collection? If you’re willing to trade or frag your colony, please leave some comments below.

Under MH lighting and actinics, the peach color really popped – to the point of radioactivity!

When I showed these pictures to the community, some have even suggested these zoas could be a morph of the rainbow zoas. What do you think? Are these more like rainbows or are they simply peachy?
