Zoanthid ("Rasta")

Rasta zoanthid 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:

Instantly recognisable. These zoanthids were an absolute sensation when they first hit the reefing scene ten or so years ago. Since then have been overshadowed by some of the never morphs on the market, however due to their ease of growth and iconic colouration they will always have a place in the hobby. We scarcely need to describe colouration but a navy-blue inner gives way to a bright yellow ring (sometimes with a thin orange-red band included). A larger ring if bright lime green encircled the inner before being finished with a thin navy-blue ring and olive green lashes. Mesmerising when grown out into large colonies!

Size

A small zoanthid with polyps rarely reaching much ore than 5mm in diameter.

Care

Very easy under normal reef parameters, thrives under most lighting and flow variations.
