VERIFIED IDENTITY
Candy Apple Red Zoa / Candy Apple Red Zoanthid
Candy Apple Red is a named zoanthid morph recorded in the Zoa Scan UK zoanthid catalogue. It is also recorded under the alias CAR. Its observed colour profile combines a purple centre, green body or oral disc and red 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 easy in difficulty, with moderate lighting and low–moderate water flow, together with a fast 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 Red 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.
