notes
   A common and easily cared for polyp. They will add a little color to your reef and given the right conditions they will multiply fairly easily. Give them room between other poolyps and corals as their tentacles can give off a slight sting and may damage its neighbors. They are photosythetic however occasional feedings of invert filter foods is recommended.   
overview
  
The Yellow Polyps (Parazoanthus Sp.) is sometimes called a Yellow Sea Polyps. It belongs to the family named Parazoanthidae. The Yellow 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. Parazoanthus 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 moderate water current and a fluctuating water current.
