Yet another Zoa ID request

[Ricordia]

This is the most prolific zoa in my tank, and I've realized that I don't know what variety it is. I've searched Zoanthid.com and the zoabrary and nothing looks similar. I'm just curious, but any help would be appreciated.

Radioactive Dragon Eyes?

I think you're right! Thanks!
Mine are more teal than green, in the center, but some of the images of them online look teal too. :)

Mine are bright green but they can also color shift in different intensities of light. In fact, a few of mine that are shaded by other Zoas reverted back to just plain old Dragon Eye Zoa coloration.

Radioactive Dragon Eyes are a bucket strain zoa. Simply put, some might be 'greener' have more or less teal, etc but the differences are not great enough to merit an additional name so RDE is a catch-all all. Just like Candy Apple Reds, Blow Pops, and Punk Rockers - are some strains nicer thank others? Absolutely, but just like in those cases unless there's an 'immutable distinguishing characteristic' its all the same thing.

Easy-peeezey.
