This WYSIWYG colony displays warm pink to salmon oral discs with pale cream centers, surrounded by muted lavender to blue-gray skirts. Subtle radial striping gives the faces added texture and creates a delicate floral appearance that fits the “Pink Posey” name. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e polyps are connected by living tissue and can gradually spread across adjacent rockwork as the colony expands. They contain symbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellates that provide much of their nutritional energy, while the polyps may also capture very fine suspended organic material.

Provide low to moderate, variable water movement that helps keep debris from settling between the polyps without preventing full extension. Place on stable rockwork with sufficient room for the colony to spread. Maintain stable temperature and salinity along with consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Most nutrition is supplied through photosynthesis, though very fine suspended foods may provide supplemental nutrition.
