This specimen displays vivid raspberry-red to magenta oral discs with fine radial striping, bright fluorescent yellow mouths, and distinctive golden-yellow skirts that create a striking high-contrast appearance. The combination of rich pink-red coloration and bright yellow edging gives this colony the colorful “Blonde Barbie” look reflected in its name. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e species contain symbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellates that provide much of their nutritional energy, while their polyps can also capture fine suspended plankton and organic particles.

Flow should be sufficient to prevent debris from collecting between the polyps without keeping them continuously closed. Place the colony on stable rockwork where it receives consistent lighting and circulation. Maintain stable temperature and salinity, and keep nitrate and phosphate measurable and reasonably consistent rather than excessively low. Most nutrition is supplied through photosynthesis, although fine suspended plankton and organic material may provide supplemental nutrition. Zoanthids can gradually spread across adjacent hard surfaces, so allow room for colony expansion. When cutting or fragging zoanthids, use appropriate protective practices because some zoanthids may contain palytoxin or related compounds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67801431572713,"sku":"F OC2778","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/ultra-blonde-barbie-zoanthids-soft-premium-frags-pea-F-oc2778.jpg?v=1793228943","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/ultra-blonde-barbie-zoanthids-pea-f-oc2778","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
