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.
