This WYSIWYG specimen is dominated by large orange to red-orange polyps with deep burgundy oral discs, fine radial striping, and small fluorescent green mouths. A second contrasting morph on the same rock displays bright chartreuse-green tentacle skirts with darker brown centers and pale blue-green mouths. The combination of fiery orange-red polyps and vivid green-accented polyps creates a strong multicolor contrast across the colony. \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 under favorable aquarium conditions. They contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide much of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis while also being capable of capturing fine suspended organic material.

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":67622729056489,"sku":"F OC0415","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/ultra-zoanthid-combo-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-OC0415.jpg?v=1791239412","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/ultra-zoanthid-combo-premium-pea-f-oc0415","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
