This specimen features a dominant group of deep burgundy to red polyps with intense orange-red radial coloration and pale pink-white centers, accompanied by a contrasting group with bright yellow to yellow-green centers, burgundy oral discs, and dark red-purple skirts. The combination creates a dramatic two-tone colony with strong contrast between warm red-orange and fluorescent yellow coloration. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZoanthus\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e polyps grow colonially and are connected by living tissue that can gradually spread across adjacent rockwork. They contain symbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellates that provide much of their nutritional energy, while the polyps may also capture fine suspended organic material.

Provide low to moderate, variable water movement that helps prevent debris from collecting between the polyps without interfering with full extension. Place on stable rockwork with sufficient room for the different morphs to spread. Maintain stable temperature and salinity along with consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Most nutritional requirements are supplied through photosynthesis, although very fine suspended foods may provide supplemental nutrition.
