They have different color mixtures, cream, blue and green. Candy apple reds and greens are common. If you have dashes of gray, purple and blue, then you’ve got yourself something unique. They live in the reef environments or on rocky headlands in high latitudes. They live in a low light condition and therefore can be placed in soil zone. They usually feed on planktons.
