The Petroglyph Zoanthid features a metallic blue-purple mouth that stands out against its pale yellow-green disk, while its tentacles are banded with alternating dark and light green, giving it a unique textured look. This unusual coloration resembles ancient, weathered patterns—likely the inspiration behind its name. It thrives in moderate light and flow, is easy to care for, and spreads across rockwork in a matting growth pattern, making it a distinctive and hardy choice for reef aquariums.
