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 enormous color variation. Polyps can be, for example, green, orange, red, blue, purple, yellow, or multicolored. Often, the center, ring, and outer edge of the polyp 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.
