This pic is a parent ULTRA Green Palythoa Zoanthid Soft Coral! It almost doesn't look real here does it?! The largest polyp in this pic is about quarter size so it's one that borders a Giant Paly yet is still considered in the normal size class. It has the ability to shrink to a much smaller size depending on water parameters & neighboring corals. DEF a Show Stopper whether full daylights or when your actinics are on!
Zoas are one of the few soft corals that like being on the sand bed as well as on the rocks.
All pieces are mounted to REAL rock!

Soft Coral Color Guide: Example - Base color "Green"
"Green" = shows it's green color mostly under actinic blue lighting
Neon "Green" = glows green under actinic blue lighting
Ultra "Green" = bright or deep green under full daylights!
Metallic = the color has a metallic sheen to it.
Remember, like wild soft corals, aquacultured tank raised soft corals offer many benefits to reef fish like hiding places or perches and even sleep spots! Tank raised soft corals are much easier to keep than hard corals and they add beautiful form, color and movement to a tank.
