This WYSIWYG coral frag displays bright lime-green to yellow-green centers surrounded by vivid red-orange rings, purple to magenta outer tissue, and contrasting yellow-green skirt tips. The combination creates the classic high-contrast Candy Apple appearance with exceptionally bright coloration under reef aquarium lighting. \u003cem\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/em\u003e polyps grow from a shared tissue mat and can gradually spread across adjacent rockwork under favorable conditions. They contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide much of their nutritional needs through photosynthesis, while the polyps can also capture suspended organic material and fine particulate foods. Because exact species identification within \u003cem\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/em\u003e cannot be reliably determined from external appearance alone, \u003cem\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/em\u003e sp. is the most scientifically appropriate designation for this specimen.\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 performs well under low to moderate reef lighting with moderate, indirect water flow. Provide enough circulation to keep debris from settling between the polyps without preventing them from fully opening. Place the frag on stable rockwork with room for the colony to spread. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Zoanthids are primarily photosynthetic but may benefit from dissolved nutrients and occasional fine particulate or planktonic foods. 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51921639833833,"sku":"F S2122","price":229.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/ultra-candy-apple-zoanthids-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-S2122.jpg?v=1790108902","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/ultra-candy-apple-zoanthids-premium-frag-pea-f-s2122","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
