Each polyp typically features a deep violet to royal purple center accented by bright green or blue rings that create a distinctive “pinwheel” effect. The contrasting skirts often appear darker, helping to frame the vivid inner pattern and enhance the overall depth of each polyp. As colonies expand, they form dense, swirling mats of color that bring a dynamic, almost hypnotic look to reef aquariums. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, their fluorescent pigments intensify dramatically, making the pinwheel pattern even more pronounced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"1574\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"810\" data-end=\"825\"\u003eCoral Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft Coral \/ Zoanthid\u003cbr data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"850\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"850\" data-end=\"863\"\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 75–150 PAR)\u003cbr data-start=\"921\" data-end=\"924\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"924\" data-end=\"938\"\u003eFlow Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect flow encourages healthy polyp extension and helps keep detritus from settling on the colony\u003cbr data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1067\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1067\" data-end=\"1089\"\u003eFood Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods such as Reef Roids or Benereef may enhance growth and coloration\u003cbr data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1267\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1267\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eAggression:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally reef-safe, though colonies can spread rapidly and may overgrow nearby corals if not managed\u003cbr data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1416\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1416\" data-end=\"1430\"\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Best placed on isolated rock islands or stable reef structures where colonies can expand freely under consistent lighting and flow conditions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1576\" data-end=\"1930\" 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.
