VERIFIED IDENTITY
ZOA OF THE MONTH · SEPTEMBER 2026Candy Apple Orange Zoa / Candy Apple Orange Zoanthid
Candy Apple Orange is a named zoanthid morph recorded in the Zoa Scan UK zoanthid catalogue. Its observed colour profile combines a green centre, orange body or oral disc and orange skirt, arranged in a concentric pattern. These recorded traits help reefkeepers compare specimens, although appearance can vary with aquarium lighting, photography and colony condition. Zoa Scan records this morph as moderate in difficulty, with moderate lighting and low–moderate water flow, together with a moderate growth rate. These care details are catalogue observations rather than guarantees, so stable reef conditions and gradual acclimation remain important. Use this profile to identify Candy Apple Orange zoanthids, compare current UK retailer observations and review captive-grown community frags. Check the complete colour pattern and available source evidence rather than relying on the trade name alone.
