RF Poisoned Apple – 3 Polyps
Zoanthus spp., known collectively as the Zoanthids or “Zoas,” are among the most colorful and diverse soft corals in the reef aquarium hobby. Each polyp resembles a miniature flower, displaying an endless array of color combinations—from radiant neons and deep metallics to ultra-rare morphs like Rainbow Incinerators, Utter Chaos, and Rastas. Highly adaptive and visually striking, Zoanthids can form dense mats that blanket rockwork with vibrant color, making them a staple in both beginner and collector-level reef aquariums. Their resilience, growth rate, and breathtaking variety make them one of the most rewarding coral groups to cultivate.
Lighting: Moderate to high (100–200 PAR); color intensity and contrast are best under blue-dominant LED lighting—acclimate slowly to prevent shock.

The Poisoned Apple polyps have added a stunning pop of color to my tank. They grow quickly and stay vibrant even under my current LED setup. I’ve seen them change colors slightly over time, which is very exciting for a reef hobbyist.

Great color variety and easy to maintain. I’ve had them for two months now and they’re still healthy and active. The blue lighting really brings out their neon tones.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a visually striking coral. The polyps form a dense mat on the rockwork and look amazing in the tank. I didn’t expect such fast growth.
