Colony Polyp, Green
Colony Polyp, Green are colonial animals with several individual polyps attached to a piece of live rock or coral rubble. They are bright green in color and their polyps have the ability to sting other polyps or corals. While the sting is not strong, they are semi-aggressive and need to have space between their colony and any neighbors.
Zoanthids are unique in that they incorporate sand and other small pieces of material into their tissue to help create their structure. In the wild, Zoanthids often occupy fringe environments (intertidal, back reef, other shallow areas, over dead corals), making them quite a hardy choice for the reef aquarist.
Easy to maintain, Colony Polyp Green require a medium light level combined with a medium water movement within the aquarium.

Easy to set up and stays vibrant in my tank. I gave it a bit of space from other corals and it’s been thriving for over six months. The color is bright and adds a nice green contrast to the reef.

Grew well in medium light and with moderate flow. I noticed a few minor stings to nearby polyps, but it didn’t affect the overall health of the tank. Spacing helped prevent issues.

Hardy and low maintenance. It incorporated small sand particles into its structure, which is a cool feature. I’ve kept it in a beginner-friendly reef tank with good results.
