LIKELY IDENTITY
Rainbow Hornet Zoa / Rainbow Hornet Zoanthid
Rainbow Hornet is a named zoanthid morph recorded in the Zoa Scan UK zoanthid catalogue. Its observed colour profile combines a orange centre, purple body or oral disc and orange skirt, arranged in a ringed 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 low-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 Rainbow Hornet 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.
