Why are my zoas inconsistent?

[poojan]

So I have a colony of utter chaos which has done great in my tank, and it was grown from a single polyp but while it’s grown even managed to really overgrow one or two of my other zoas I’ve noticed polyps vary drastically in coloration? How do you get consistent coloration/ size / shape?

This is common for certain types of zoas, utter chaos being one of them. Zoas like Rastas however will stay consistent.

Utter chaos is ULTRA responsive to the lighting. The brighter the light the more intense the colors get. Less light- less intense. But the trade off is size. The ones closer to the light will be half the size of the ones in lower light.
