Purple Monster Zoanthid., also known as Colony Rock, Zoas,  or simply "Zoos", are an extremely hardy and excellent beginner coral. Purple Monsters have a speckled pink and purple center with bright green outer tentacles making them a beautiful addition to any reef tank. They are small soft corals that vary greatly in color and pattern. They have the ability to spread rapidly about the tank so be sure to keep extra room between them and other corals. Zoanthids thrive best in tanks with low to moderate water flow and strong lighting. They will largely feed photosynthetically but will benefit from supplemental feedings of plankton and other carnivorous foods. Zoanthids are some of the most popular, hardy, easy to care for, and beautiful corals in the entire trade.
