We generally show the coral frags under different
light settings:
- Top view blue light - 20,000 K
- Top view daylight - 12,000 K
- Reef tank shot without filter
- Reef tank shot with orange filter (= filter shot)
- Variation of frags
- optional: picture of the broodstock
When taking a filter shot, we deliberately choose not to use too much blue light in order to display the colors as naturally as possible and as one would perceive them without filter glasses. Please note that deviations can still occur due to certain display and lighting settings and subjective perception.
In terms of size, you can use the light grid plate to help you: one square is 1.6 x 1.6 cm. Our frag plugs measure 2 or 3 cm in diameter.
Palythoa - encrusting anemones
Palythoa differ slightly in appearance from Zoanthus . They usually form much larger polyps, which can sometimes be further apart. The tentacles of Palythoa also usually taper to a point.
Palythoa are grateful pets in the saltwater aquarium
Zoanthids have few requirements and can adapt to a wide range of lighting intensities. Nevertheless, slowly get your Palythoa used to intense light, as lighting that is too low is always better tolerated than lighting that is too high. Nevertheless, very colorful species show their best colors and growth under strong lighting. The current should not be too weak so that no deposits can form on the Palythoa .
How do I place Palythoa in the aquarium?
We deliver the encrusting anemone to you attached to a spawning stone. You can either fix this stone in your reef structure or you can glue it to the desired position using coral glue or superglue. The spawning stones have a small stem that you can simply cut off with pliers if it gets in the way.
Are encrusting anemones poisonous?
Yes, some encrusting anemones contain what is known as palytoxin. Aquarists have also encountered the poison - for example when fragmenting or cleaning reef rock. Symptoms of poisoning are associated with headaches, fever, breathing problems and chest pain. Therefore, you should generally be careful when handling Zoanthus or Palythoa .
