This WYSIWYG colony displays deep burgundy to nearly black outer tissue highlighted by brilliant ruby-red to orange-red skirts and radiating markings around the oral disc. Zoanthids grow as individual polyps connected by a common mat and can gradually spread across adjacent rockwork under favorable reef conditions. They contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide much of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis, while the polyps are also capable of capturing suspended organic material. Exact species identification within \u003cem\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/em\u003e generally requires more than external appearance, so \u003cem\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/em\u003e sp. is the scientifically appropriate designation rather than assigning an unsupported species name from the photograph alone.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/em\u003e sp. generally adapts well to low to moderate reef lighting, although coloration can vary with lighting intensity and spectrum. Provide moderate, indirect water flow that keeps debris from accumulating between the polyps without preventing them from fully opening. Place the colony on stable rockwork where it has room to expand. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Zoanthids are primarily photosynthetic but can benefit from dissolved nutrients and occasional fine planktonic or particulate foods. They are generally hardy once established. Because zoanthids may contain palytoxin or related compounds, avoid handling damaged tissue with bare hands and use appropriate eye and skin protection when cutting, fragging, or otherwise disturbing the colony.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895890837737,"sku":"U25 S1720","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/neon-rubies-zoanthids-soft-under-25-pea-F-S1720.jpg?v=1789706782","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/neon-rubies-zoanthids-under-25-pea-f-s1720","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
