They form low-lying colonies where small polyps grow as a dense mat on rock surfaces or frag plugs. Each polyp has a mouth in the center, surrounded by a colorful ring and short tentacles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZoanthus corals are known for their immense color variation. Polyps can be, for example, green, orange, red, blue, purple, yellow, or multicolored. Often, the center of the polyp, the ring, and the outer edge are different colors, creating striking patterns. In blue aquarium lighting, many color morphs fluoresce strongly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHundreds of different color morphs and trade names are known in the aquarium hobby.
