Zoanthid ("King Midas")

King Midas 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

One of the smaller zoanthid species. Extremely sort after do to their bright gold-yellow, colours often missing in reef aquaria. A bright golden yellow centre, becoming more yellow towards the outer disk is hoghlighted by a think navy-blue outer ring. Finished off with yellow lashes. This morph looks absolutely stunning when grown out into large mats of yellow. Ressembling piles of golden coins, silling over the rockwork, like something out of a fantasy scene.

Size

A Small zoanthid with polyps rarely getting much bigger than 2 or 3mm in diameter.

Care

Easy under normal reef parameters, thrives under most lighting and flow variations, requires careful handling when introducing to avoid squashing the small polyps.
