Age - . My first coral, purchased mainly for its great coloration. The stems are a purple/magenta color and the "stars" are green with a bright yellow center that glow brightly under actinic lighting.
This coral was very inexpensive because of an empty patch that was on the colony. I brought it home, cleared that patch and separated three cuttings to different rocks to grow out more attractively. This one colony has spread well around my tank.
Green Star Polyp (Briareum violacea)
Age: - While not as attractive as the Metallic Polyps, these greens also spreads itself around the tank nicely.
Very hardy, zero maintenance. Keep a fairly decent water quality and you'll be fine. A great soft coral for beginners.
Button Polyps (Zoanthus sp.)
Age - . This is also a great beginner coral. This species reproduces by a colony mat and enjoys feeding on live brine shrimp. Otherwise, they need strong lighting for nourishment. The first picture here is a very early look at the colony as separate polyps. The picture on the right here is the state of the colony after 15 months.
