Here's a little peek into my collection, im a huge fan of the different colors and shapes , seems endless! Could fill so many tanks with just these little wonders and be totally happy! Share some pics of your favorites , let's see the collections out there and maybe we can help each other get some new morphs in our tanks!😉🙌🙏🙌
Might have to see if i can get one rounded up for you buddy. Had 2 big guys and one split. Have three but sand was getting moved around a bit and irritated em. Gotta love uncomfortable wrasses lol.
Zoanthids are colonial cnidarian corals known for their dazzling colors and rapid growth. They belong to the order Zoantharia (also called Zoanthidea), within the subclass Hexacorallia (same group as stony corals and anemones). There are dozens of described zoanthid species – historically over 300 were named, though later taxonomic revisions reduced the number of distinct species to around 60 accepted species. In general, zoanthids resemble small sea anemones, forming mats or colonies of individual polyps on reef surfaces. They are extremely popular in reef aquariums for their hardy nature and stunning variety of color morphs
Zoanthid Coral Taxonomy and Genera
In taxonomy, zoanthids are grouped into several families and genera based on their morphology. All zoanthids have a cylindrical polyp body with tentacles around the margin of the oral disc. Unlike stony corals, they have no hard skeleton, and many species (Palythoa, Protopaly) incorporate sand or sediment…
Awesome stuff. Gotta start getting a library going.
