Bright Zoas?

Are there any bright zoas that sort of glow? After seeing the Dragon Eyes, I am amazed by the color. I was wondering, are there any zoas that have that intense color? If so, can you please post pics and the names?

Lighting type, wattage, watts, k value, ballast, water clarity all have a more of a significant bearing on coloration than the polyp itself. For example, take a colony of bright zoanthids from Junior Samples tank and place them under dual 150 watt 10 k's with 2 T5 actinics in a deep 90 gallon tank and they will look drab. No place them in a 70 gallon tank with dual 250's with 14 k's or 20 k's with LED supplementation and they will blind you with coloration.

I would research lighting before I'd focus on which polyps to buy. Just my opinion, good luck my friend.
