Zoanthid ("Bowtie blaster")

Bowtie blaster Zoanthid spp. (20mm Frag plug)

All our Zoanthids are rested for at least 1 month prior to shipping, by this time they will be fully attached to the frag plug of their own accord and will most likely have started to grow 'pup' polyps around the base.

Description:

A premium, highly sort after zoanthid. Extremely bright, even without vast quantities of blue light. However they really do pop colour wen blue light is added! Black patterning from the mouth set against an 'eyeburningly' bright orange oral disk resembles a bowtie in shape and is framed within a spoked black ring on the disk. The very outer ring on the oral disk is extremely bright lime-green. Lashes are short and Banded with greens and blue-black.

This really is a species to grow out onto its own rock as a centrepiece coral!

A premium zoanthid, that often commands extreme prices per polyp with a decent growth rate, polyps on the larger size and without a reputation of being a 'melter' Definately a good first foray into the potentially expensive world of 'Ultra zoanthids'!

Size

One of the larger species of zoanthid with polyps the size of a 5p piece

Care

Easy under normal reef parameters, thrives under most lighting and flow variations. Great for beginners and experienced reef keepers alike. A great high end premium zoa, you can rely on to perform well and not 'melt'. A top pick for some amazing colour without breaking the bank.
