Parazoanthus sp.
This colonial anemone consists of small polyps which can reach a height of up
to 2 cm, with tentacles that do not exceed 5 mm in length. They must be placed 10
or 20 cm under the water surface in an aquarium to take maximum advantage of the
light, due to the presence of Zooxanthellae. They must not be put close to stinging
Anthozoa. Like many other animals in this group, their food consists of a fine choppy
based on mussels. When buying this encrusting anemone, make sure that it is attached
to a rock.
