Each polyp typically features a glowing mandarin-orange center, often accented by yellow to gold rings and contrasting darker skirts that enhance the overall depth and definition of the colony. Their bright, warm tones create a strong visual pop in reef aquariums, especially when colonies form dense mats across live rock. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, their fluorescent pigments intensify, producing a radiant orange glow that stands out dramatically in mixed reef displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"1532\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"767\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft Coral \/ Zoanthid\u003cbr data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"792\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"805\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 75–150 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"863\" data-end=\"866\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"880\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect water movement supports healthy polyp extension and helps prevent debris from settling on the colony\u003cbr data-start=\"1015\" data-end=\"1018\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods such as Reef Roids or Benereef may encourage faster growth and enhanced coloration\u003cbr data-start=\"1233\" data-end=\"1236\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1251\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally reef-safe, though colonies can spread quickly and may overgrow nearby corals if not managed\u003cbr data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1385\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1385\" data-end=\"1399\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on isolated rock structures or reef islands where colonies can expand freely under stable lighting and flow conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1534\" data-end=\"1888\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eWe maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health.
