Zan Headgear Rattler Photochromic Sunglasses , Color: Black ERTL001: Automotive. Blue Zoanthid, Nano Cluster. Dark blue zoanthids are a rare, deep-water species from the Caribbean that really light up a reef tank.

Blue Zoanthid, Nano Cluster

These nano clusters will have at least 5 of polyps on them, and each polyp is dark blue through out and is about ¼ of an inch in diameter The colonies are not attached to any rock, but may have small bits of shells and some sand intertwined about their base, and some colonies may be attached entirely to a small shell The cluster will quickly attached to whatever you put it on, and will begin to send out new polyps once it's stabilized.

They are very hardy and multiply fast. Medium to strong lighting will be best for these. Most zoanthids are photosynthetic and will get much or their nourishment from the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, but they will also need to be fed some sort of fine particle food. We’ve added this line of nano clusters for those of you who want to try some different colored zoanthids without spending too much money. Nano Purple Sea Plume Gorgonia. This is a nano-sized colony of the purple sea plume gorgonia, Muriceopsis flavida, from Florida.

Nano Purple Sea Plume Gorgonia

This is a small specimen, about 3" to 5" high, that has been especially selected for a nano reef tanks. It will do well in any reef tank, but is small enough for a nano tank. Sea Plumes are a very common, photosynthetic, shallow water octocoral found throughout the Caribbean and Florida. We only select the dark purple color morphs because they are the most attractive. The polyps are a light purple to white color and will usually be extended during feeding and at night.

Nano Red Brittle Starfish. Nano Spiny Orange Sea Rod Gorgonia. This is a small, nano reef tank sized Orange Spiny Sea Rod Gorgonia, Muricea elongata, from Florida.

Nano Spiny Orange Sea Rod Gorgonia

This is small sized specimen and will be about 3" to 5" high. These are somewhat common, photosynthetic, shallow water gorgonia (octocoral) found throughout the Florida Keys. The polyps are a light orange to rusty brown color and will usually be extended during feeding and at night, giving the colony a fuzzy appearance. This is a fairly hardy gorgonia and would be a good starter gorgonia if you want to start keeping them in your reef tank. There is quite a bit of natural color variation in this species but we try to send the most rusty orange color. Most gorgonians like currents, so keep that in mind when placing them in your tank. All of the gorgonians we sell have been kept successfully for many years in all kinds of reef aquariums and have passed the "test" for being suitable for marine aquaria. Nano Yellow Sea Whip. This is a small, nano reef sized yellow sea whip gorgonia, Pterogorgia citrina, from Florida.

Nano Yellow Sea Whip

The specimen is about 3" to 5" high, and has been specially selected for a nano reef tank. It will do well in any reef tank, but is small enough for a nano tank. This is a fairly common, photosynthetic, shallow water gorgonia (octocoral) found throughout the Caribbean and Florida. The polyps are a light yellow to white color and will usually be extended during feeding and at night, giving the colony a fuzzy appearance. This is one of the hardier gorgonia available and would be a good starter gorgonia if you want to start keeping them in your reef tank. Rusty Goby. Rusty Gobies, Priolepis hipoliti, is a common but reclusive goby found throughout Florida and the Caribbean.

Rusty Goby

They prefer to hang upside down under rocks and coral heads, so they usually go unnoticed by the average diver. They are a small goby and don't get much bigger than an inch long. They are a rusty orange color as the name implies, and some have lighter colored horizontal stripes on them. They are a very hardy goby that can easily be kept in any reef tank. They readily eat small pellet foods, as well as flake foods and of course brine shrimp. We only get a few of these at a time and what we do have sells quickly.
