Zoanthids

Zoanthids, affectionately known as 'Zoas', are an incredibly diverse and wildly popular group of soft corals. They do not build hard calcium skeletons but instead form dense, colorful mats of individual polyps connected by a fleshy base. Available in almost every color combination imaginable, they are highly prized by collectors. Zoanthids are exceptionally hardy and can adapt to almost any lighting and flow condition, making them the ultimate beginner coral. They get most of their energy from light. **Warning:** Some Zoanthid species contain Palytoxin, a highly dangerous neurotoxin. Always wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling or fragging these corals.
