LA Lakers Zoa Starter Colony

LA Lakers Zoanthid is an aquacultured zoanthid coral starter colony with 7-10 established polyps, selected for health, structure, coloration, and long-term growth in reef tanks. Unlike single-polyp frags, this fully healed multi-polyp colony arrives securely attached and ready for placement, making it a solid choice for beginners and for anyone building a zoa garden.

What You'll Receive You will receive one of the colonies shown, or another fully established LA Lakers Zoanthid colony containing 7-10 healthy, established polyps of equal quality and size. Fully healed, securely attached, and ready for placement in your tank.

• Established multi-polyp starter colony for faster visual impact than fresh-cut frags
• Hardy, beginner-friendly zoanthid coral for mixed reef tanks and zoa gardens
• Fast growth potential under stable reef tank parameters and proper placement
• Aquacultured in a stable home reef system for consistent health and adaptation
• Best under low to moderate lighting and low to moderate flow
• Recommended placement from the sand bed to mid-level rockwork

Compared to unhealed frags, established colonies are better suited for hobbyists who want easier placement and less waiting before the coral settles in. This coral works well in beginner reef tanks, zoa gardens, and mixed reefs where you want strong fluorescent color and contrast under reef lighting.
