~$10–40 frag
Infinite color variety, fast growth, easy care. Zoas are the trading cards of the reef hobby — collectors go deep on these.
⚠ SPREADS MODERATELY
Control Difficulty: Easy — Spreads slowly enough that you will always see it coming. Remove stray polyps with tweezers before they multiply. A quick monthly check is all the maintenance needed.
☠️
PALYTOXIN HAZARD
Some zoanthid morphs contain palytoxin, one of the most toxic natural substances known. Always wear gloves when handling. NEVER heat, frag dry, or place near open flame. Seek emergency care if skin or eye contact occurs.
🔥
NEVER HEAT OR BURN
Heating or burning releases palytoxin as an airborne toxin. Never frag near a flame or boil equipment that has contacted this coral without thorough rinsing first.
🧤
WEAR GLOVES
Always wear nitrile or latex gloves when handling. Wash hands thoroughly after any tank contact. Keep away from eyes and mouth.
