Representative Zoanthidsphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A classic morph with a yellow-green skirt, orange-red body ring, and a bright yellow center, evoking the red/gold/green Rastafarian palette. One of the most recognizable named zoas in the hobby.
📜 Backstory
A long-established classic zoa traded for well over a decade and stocked by Tidal Gardens (sold as 'Rasta Zoanthids') and most major vendors. It has become a baseline reference morph everyone in the hobby recognizes. Original lineage is debated, but it has been widely aquacultured for years.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place on low-to-mid rockwork under moderate light (PAR ~100-250) and moderate flow; Rastas can be a slower grower and color up best with stable, moderate light rather than blasting PAR.
