This WYSIWYG colony displays brilliant golden-yellow to orange oral discs accented by darker bronze-brown radial markings, contrasting blue-green to turquoise mouths, and warm pink to coral-colored tentacle tips. The combination of glowing gold and orange coloration with darker central markings creates the ember-like appearance reflected in the “Golden Embers” name. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e polyps grow from a shared tissue mat and can gradually spread across adjacent rockwork when maintained under favorable reef aquarium conditions.

Provide enough circulation to prevent detritus from accumulating between the polyps while still allowing full extension. Place on stable rockwork with adequate room 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 also benefit from dissolved nutrients and occasional fine planktonic foods. Acclimate gradually when introducing the colony to stronger lighting. Zoanthids may contain palytoxin or related compounds, so use appropriate eye and skin protection 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":67621592957161,"sku":"F OC0411","price":179.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/ultra-golden-embers-zoanthids-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-OC0411.jpg?v=1791239414","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/ultra-golden-embers-zoanthids-premium-pea-f-oc0411","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
