A sweet morph of orange mauls, Orange Eruptions have a clean black pattern with a more "matte" orange finish. They have proven to be easier to care for than other orange maul morphs and their polyps stay relatively large.

Orange Eruptions Zoanthids 1p, WYSIWYG
Originator
Unknown
Care Level
Best tried after you've had success with a few other easier corals first and have an understanding of basic reef chemistry such as keeping salinity, alkalinity, calicium, and magnesium levels consistent. The coral itself is very easy to care for if you test for your parameters often and have created a consistent maintanence routine for your reef!
Growth Rate
A moderate grower. Increased growth with feeding such as Benepets.
Lighting Placement
Prefers to be kept in lower to medium light. This morph will do well in a wide range of lighting placement. Lower light will make the polyps larger, but higher light will bring the yellow, orange, and pinks out on the skirts more.
Currently kept under Kessil 360x, all blue spectrum.
Flow Strength
We recommend starting smaller zoanthid frags in lower flow until it reaches a small colony size. Once established, increase the flow level to avoid any detritus building up in between the mat. If detritus builds up inside the matting of the zoanthid, it can cause bacterial issues.
Currently kept with Maxspect Gyre 350s Pumps.
