Each polyp typically features a deep, dark base—often purple, maroon, or brown—surrounded by intense fluorescent accents such as neon green, yellow, or orange. The “hairy” effect comes from extended skirt-like tentacles and fine tissue texture that give the colony a shaggy, high-relief look compared to smoother zoanthids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"866\"\u003eWhen fully extended, the colony has a wild, untamed aesthetic with strong contrast between the dark base and glowing centers. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, the fluorescent elements become especially vivid, making the colony appear to glow from within.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"868\" data-end=\"1586\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"868\" data-end=\"883\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft Coral \/ Zoanthid\u003cbr data-start=\"905\" data-end=\"908\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"921\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate (approximately 75–150 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"960\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"960\" data-end=\"974\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect flow promotes healthy polyp extension and helps maintain clean tissue surfaces\u003cbr data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1090\" data-end=\"1112\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods such as Reef Roids or Benereef may support enhanced growth and coloration\u003cbr data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1299\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally reef-safe, though colonies can spread and may overgrow nearby corals if not managed\u003cbr data-start=\"1437\" data-end=\"1440\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on isolated rock structures or zoa gardens where colonies can expand freely under stable lighting and flow conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1942\" 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.
