Description

Quite the mouthful. We promise not to have taken any part in the naming of these little corals. You’ll find a rather large polyp with this one, looking right back at you.

Expect 2 to 3 polyps

Zoanthids and Palythoas make up a large group of corals in the reef keeping hobby. They come in an incredible range of colors and patterns, making them very popular with both beginner hobbyists and rare coral collectors alike.

Both Zoanthids and Palythoas are fairly easy to keep. They tolerate a wide range of lighting intensities and water parameters. Once settled in, they quickly multiply.

Some Zoanthids, but  Palythoas  in particular contain a powerful neurotoxin called palytoxin that can be extremely harmful if it comes in contact with your bloodstream.

You must take special care when handling these corals.
