About this coral
| RC Captain America Palythoa |
| AQUACULTURED |
FRAG | APPROX SIZE: 2-4 Polyps |
|
The term "Zoanthid", belonging to the Zoanthidae family, includes many species popular in the reef keeping world among hobby Reef Chasers and Pro Reef Chasers. Zoanthids are known by some as "carpet coral," "button polyps," and "zoas," and are considered soft corals. They appear as a single flower, but proliferate into glorious bunches of sea flowers and will often spread to cover rocks with their bright circles of colors. Zoas are relatively easy to keep alive and healthy, making them a common resident in most saltwater aquariums. Palythoas are very similar to Zoanthids and will often be found growing in close proximity.
Zoanthids reproduce by budding. When a new polyp is formed, it remains attached to the original polyp. The continued reproduction of polyps forms a colony. Zoanthids are hardy, but like most corals, they like their environment to be consistent. They can usually live and grow in different qualities of water - from clean to brackish. When placing your zoas in your aquarium, be sure to choose an area with moderate flow and low to moderate lighting. We recommend 100-150 PAR. Be mindful not to crowd others corals too close to your other zoanthid frags or colonies. Zoas have a semi-aggressive temperament. Each polyp has the ability to sting encroaching corals or creatures |
