    Default Zoanthus sociatus

    Commonly referred to as one of the species most commonly available in the aquarium trade. Z. sociatus is commonly described as forming large colonies of polyps connected at their bases by a very thin coenenchyme. They are so loosely connected that individual polyps or clumps of polyps readily break off of a colony if tugged. The coloration is variable but is generally shades of green or blue-green, often with a yellowish oral cone.

    Working on a new write up, but need some pictures of polyps that are confirmed Z. sociatus. I would prefer some that are commonly available and/or named corals if anybody has any. Thanks in advance.
    I collect PEs, and I'm always looking to trade for ones I don't have yet.

    I am going to try and find out if any of my polyps are of this variety. If they are, I will get some pics.

    I am unsure what exactly a zoanthid sociatus looks like. I will search.

    Very nice collection Sir
    I get bored easily and change fish and tanks like some people change shoes.
