This WYSIWYG colony displays yellow to golden oral discs surrounded by greenish to olive skirts, creating the contrasting look associated with the Joker trade name. \u003cem\u003ePalythoa\u003c\/em\u003e colonies expand by producing new polyps from a common tissue mat and can gradually spread across adjacent rockwork under favorable reef conditions. They contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide much of their nutritional needs through photosynthesis, while the polyps can also capture suspended organic material. Because species-level identification cannot be confirmed reliably from external appearance alone, \u003cem\u003ePalythoa\u003c\/em\u003e sp. is the most scientifically appropriate designation for this specimen.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePalythoa\u003c\/em\u003e sp. generally does well under low to moderate reef lighting with moderate, indirect water flow. Provide enough circulation to keep debris from collecting between the polyps without preventing them from fully opening. Place on stable rockwork with room for the colony to expand. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Palythoas are primarily photosynthetic but may also benefit from dissolved nutrients and occasional fine particulate or planktonic foods. They are generally hardy once established. Because \u003cem\u003ePalythoa\u003c\/em\u003e may contain palytoxin, avoid handling damaged tissue with bare hands and use appropriate eye and skin protection when fragging, cutting, or otherwise disturbing the colony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895970857193,"sku":"U25 S1718","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/joker-palythoas-soft-under-25-pea-F-S1718.jpg?v=1789706786","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/joker-palythoas-under-25-pea-f-s1718","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
