📌 What is the Vamps in Drag Zoa?
Vamps in Drag is an iconic designer Zoanthid morph — instantly recognizable for its bold, high-contrast colors that pop under reef lighting. The polyp typically features a bright cherry red or magenta skirt, a dark purple to black ring, and an iridescent neon green or yellow mouth, giving it a dramatic “vampire” vibe.
This coral earned its playful name because its intense, flashy colors “dress up” your reef just like a drag show does a stage — loud, showy, and impossible to ignore!
