This WYSIWYG colony displays brilliant yellow-gold to fluorescent chartreuse oral discs with distinct darker brown radial markings and contrasting pale blue-white areas surrounding the mouths. The outer tentacle skirts develop attractive salmon-pink to coral-pink coloration, creating the distinctive “Pink Fringe Gold” appearance. The combination of luminous gold centers, darker radial patterning, pale central highlights, and warm pink fringes provides strong contrast under reef aquarium lighting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e species contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that supply much of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis, while the polyps can also capture fine suspended organic material.

Provide sufficient circulation to keep detritus from settling between the polyps while allowing them to remain fully expanded. Place on stable rockwork with adequate space 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 benefit from available dissolved nutrients and occasional fine planktonic foods. Acclimate gradually when moving the colony into 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":67621741330665,"sku":"F OC0446","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/pink-fringe-gold-zoanthids-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-OC0446.jpg?v=1791239410","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/pink-fringe-gold-zoanthids-premium-pea-f-oc0446","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
