The Easy Care Coral Package was designed with the beginner reef aquarists in mind. Even the most experienced aquarist will enjoy the quality and value of the coral specimens included in this package. The Easy Care Coral Package contains from 3 to 7 good looking and healthy coral specimens from the chart below. The packages were also designed to provide a good mix of colors and species for your reef aquarium. While no coral is truly "easy" to care for, there are some species that have proven themselves to be very hardy in the home aquarium. Even though classified as easy,"easy corals" still require good water parameters and still require the addition of small amounts of iodine, strontium, and other trace element supplementation. Don't stress it, all you have to do is follow the directions. To ship every order as complete as possible, substitutions of equivalent items may be made based on current availability and husbandry approval.

Both Zoanthid polyps and Palythoa polyps (Zoa's Big Brother) are colonial corals, and most are great corals for the beginner aquarist. Most Zoa's and Palythoa's are extremely hardy and require only moderate lighting, but will adjust to reef aquariums that have stronger lighting. Both Zoanthids and Palythoa's will reproduce in the reef aquarium fairly easily. Regularly you will see new polyps called buds, which will increase the size of the colony. It is common you will receive a rock that has room for more polyp growth. As your corals grow the polyps will spread across its rock and any surrounding rocks. Zoanthids and Palythoa's are corals which have been given unigue names by aquarist's. Names such as Keds Reds, Lunar Eclipse, Lemon Limes, Purple Death, Fruit Loops, and Tubbs Blue are just a few of the hundreds of Zoa's and Paly's out there. Although they are excellent choices for the beginner reef, they are just as popular choices for the more experienced reef aquarist wanting to collect these beauties as well.

Lighting and Water Flow Requirements: All of the corals within the Zoanthid & Palythoa Colony Package will thrive under multiple standard fluorescent lights, power compacts, T5 Lighting or LED Lighting. Again if lighting of the lower end of the scale is used, make sure you supplement with feedings. For water movement the Nano Polyping Coral Pack prefers moderate water flow within the aquarium. This is best accomplished with a single or multiple powerheads dependent on tank size, with or without a wavemaker.

Diet and Feeding All of the corals included are photosynthetic and do not require daily supplemental feedings. Another words, all these corals contain zooxanthellae inside their body, so they are able to get most of their required nutrients just through light. This is why it is important to have at least moderate levels of lighting in your tank. Corals also filter nutrients from the water and collect microplankton and zooplankton through their polyps. Even though their own processes provide most of their necessities, still they benefit from the occasional spot feeding. You can feed small pieces of meaty marine foods such as brine shrimp, Cyclopeze, or one of the many liquid foods designed for filter feeding invertebrates and corals. Additional supplements of calcium, strontium, and other trace elements is also important for continued good health.

*Guarantee Restriction: All of our livestock are guaranteed. However for one or more of these species, they may be marked with a guarantee restriction. If it does, it means the specific animal may not handle stress from environmental conditions well. These stresses can include poor water quality, harassment from tank mates or confined aquarium conditions. When stressed, these species can lose the ability to ward off infection and disease. Other species may be listed as Restricted because they have such specialized feeding requirements that is difficult recreate in a aquarium and may succumb to malnutrition.
