A loose trade name. Sellers use it loosely, so trust the photo over the label.
Collector tier: common, reviewed 2026-08.
A small-polyp zoa read from the middle out: a blue mouth, a bright yellow ring or face, often a thin purple band, then an orange skirt. The heads stay smaller than most zoas and pack into tight clusters.
The orange skirt separates it from Scrambled Eggs, which has the same blue mouth and yellow face over a green skirt. From a Blondie it is barely separable: shops describe both as blue, yellow and orange, the thin purple band and the very small heads are the only differences they give, and at least one shop has sold one under the other's name. Some shops call the face green, which is the yellow under blue light. Fresh imports are known for melting, so buy a frag grown out in someone's tank.
Low to middle rock, enough flow to keep detritus off the mat. Fruit Loops is beginner to keep at a typical PAR of 75–150 in moderate flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral, not measured on this one.
No verified sales yet. A range publishes once 3 dated, checkable records from 3 different sources exist, priced per polyp and reported as a median, with what shops ask kept separate from what buyers paid. One polyp, so a ten-polyp frag is divided by ten. Listings that do not state the count are dropped rather than assumed. Nothing on this page is for sale.
