haha thats pretty huge. compared to those rainbows it looks like 20+ would make one of those polyps!

I have to admit... most of the time I go "that's pretty" and move along. But I want that. It's very nice.

Usually these are pretty hard to keep but I think the secret is to feed them lots. They are gorwing so much faster since I started and even 5 new polyps coming out. You can see 2 on this sie and there are 3 on the other side.

actually the name palythoa does not have to do with size. Most reefers call small zoanthids zoas and large zoanthids palythoas but it has much more to do than with size.
Zoanthid is the name given to ALL colonial polyps belonging to the sea anemones, which BTW are not ture corals.

Palythoa grandis, Feed them a mixture of silversides, brine shrimp, daphnea, mysis, krill, blood worms and anything else they want to eat.

So if I feed my cinnamon palys a mixture would they keep their color better and grow better?
