The Bloody Vampire Zoa (Zoanthus sp.) is a dark, menacing designer zoanthid celebrated for its gothic, high-contrast palette. Living up to its spooky moniker, this morph features a deep obsidian-purple to jet-black face disc centered around a stark white or pale silver eye, surrounded by a dramatic ring of bleeding crimson-red radial streaks, and finished off with a fringe of jet-black to blood-red skirt tentacles.
Its dark, blood-splattered aesthetic provides an incredible visual break when placed alongside bright neon-green or yellow polyp colonies.
