The Nightcrawler Zoanthid is known for its striking appearance, with a purple mouth, mottled orange and black center, and exceptionally long tentacles banded in dark and light colors, tipped in bright green. This unique patterning and tentacle length give it an otherworldly look that stands out in any reef tank. It does best under moderate light and moderate flow and is easy to care for, making it a great option for all experience levels. This zoa grows by spreading over rock and frag plugs, eventually forming a dense, colorful colony.
