Flora & Fauna

LPS coral with trumpet-shaped polyps arranged in clusters. Hardy and fast-growing. Comes in green, blue, and gold. One of the best beginner LPS corals available.

Heavyweight saltwater clean-up crew member. Excellent at mowing down hair algae on glass and rock. Can knock over frags — secure corals in its path.

Brilliant solid yellow tang from Hawaiian reefs. A staple of the reef aquarium hobby. Excellent algae grazer and generally peaceful.

Vibrant yellow with blue spots, best known for its mutualistic relationship with pistol shrimp — the shrimp digs and maintains a shared burrow while the goby stands guard. A staple of any reef tank.

Zoanthids (zoas) are colonial soft corals that form mats of individual polyps in an extraordinary range of colours and patterns, making them highly collectible. They are among the hardiest corals for beginner reef keepers and grow rapidly under good conditions. Some zoa morphs contain palytoxin; always wear gloves when handling.
