A fast growing and easy to care for coral. A good choice to add a little life around the tank. They will reproduce, so a small sample can easily mulitply into a large one. |

The Button Polyps (Protopalythoa Sp.) is sometimes called a Sea Mats, a Moon Polyps, or an Encrusting Anemones. It belongs to the family named Zoanthidae. The Button Polyps is semi-aggressive in nature and hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Protopalythoa Sp. in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a strong water current and a moderate water current.
