In plain words: Zoanthids, or 'zoas', are tiny animals that look like flowers. Each one is a polyp. It is a short tube with a mouth in the middle and a ring of small arms around it. Lots of polyps grow side by side.
About the Rasta Zoanthids
Rasta zoas are a classic, vivid zoanthid morph. Zoanthids are hardy and spread over rock to create a carpet of color. Each frag has several polyps on a plug, ready to glue into your rockwork.
