Scientific name: Neozoanthidae
Neozoanthidae, commonly known as Zoanthids or Button Polyps, are a family of colonial cnidarians found in a variety of reef environments. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their bright colors and ease of care. Zoanthids form symbiotic relationships with photosynthetic algae, which provide them with nutrients. They are known for their resilience and can thrive in a range of lighting conditions, making them suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists. It's important to handle Zoanthids with care as they can contain palytoxin, a potent toxin.
