This WYSIWYG colony displays brilliant orange to red-orange tentacles surrounding deep red to burgundy oral discs with fine radial striping. The centers are striking pale turquoise to mint blue-green, creating a strong contrast against the warm red and orange coloration. Some polyps show subtle purple tones along the stalks and inner disc, adding further depth to the colony. The dramatic combination of fiery orange-red skirts and cool turquoise centers gives this morph its distinctive “Magician” appearance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e polyps grow from a shared tissue mat and can gradually spread across adjacent rockwork under favorable aquarium conditions.

Provide sufficient circulation to help prevent detritus from settling between the polyps while still allowing full extension. Place on stable rockwork with adequate room for the colony to spread. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Zoanthids obtain much of their energy through photosynthesis but may also benefit from dissolved nutrients and occasional fine planktonic foods. Acclimate gradually when introducing the colony to stronger lighting. Zoanthids may contain palytoxin or related compounds, so appropriate eye and skin protection should be used when cutting, handling damaged tissue, or otherwise disturbing the colony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67622805242089,"sku":"F OC0426","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/magician-zoanthids-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-OC0426.jpg?v=1791251527","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/magician-zoanthids-premium-pea-f-oc0426","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
