RC Palythoa Mutuki *ALMOST WYSIWYG*

The polyps on Palythoa Mutuki are very large, exceeding 1" in diameter. The stalks are also significantly different than zoanthid stalks as they are thicker and rougher in texture due to the fact they incorporate sand into their stalks. The texture is similar to a leather coral or a sponge. Palythoa mutuki are one of the poisonous palythoa families and, like all corals, should be handled with caution and care.

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.
