Zoanthid polyps can display an amazing assortment of colors on the same rock.
Indo-Pacific -
Islands of the Indopacific including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef.
Medium to high lighting would serve this species well.
Zoanthus can be kept under high output fluorescent bulbs, but may benefit from more intense lighting.
It will likely change its coloration depending on the lighting provided.
Zoanthus may require a longer acclimation period to intense lighting such as metal halides.
Moderate water movement is recommended.
Zoanthus derives much of its energy from the products of their zooxanthellae.
It is not known to actively "feed" on anything,
but rather passively absorb dissolved organics from the water column directly through its "skin."
This genus for the most part has been propagated extensively in captivity and
is an excellent candidate for aquaculture. It is reasonable to believe that a
sustainable harvest can be achieved in time.
