Each polyp typically features a deep red to crimson center surrounded by bright yellow or gold rings, with darker outer skirts that enhance the “hornet” pattern. The sharp color separation gives each polyp a striking, high-impact appearance that stands out even in densely packed zoa gardens. As colonies grow, they form tight mats of vividly colored polyps that add movement and richness to reef aquariums. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, their fluorescent tones become especially vibrant, with reds and yellows glowing intensely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"1535\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"777\" data-end=\"792\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft Coral \/ Zoanthid\u003cbr data-start=\"814\" data-end=\"817\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"830\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 75–150 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"891\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"905\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect water movement supports healthy polyp extension and helps prevent debris buildup\u003cbr data-start=\"1020\" data-end=\"1023\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1023\" data-end=\"1045\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods such as Reef Roids or Benereef may improve growth and coloration\u003cbr data-start=\"1220\" data-end=\"1223\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1223\" data-end=\"1238\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally reef-safe, though colonies can spread quickly and may encroach on nearby corals if not managed\u003cbr data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1389\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on isolated rock islands or stable reef structures where colonies have room to expand under consistent lighting and flow conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1891\" 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.
