Under actinic lighting, the green centre glows vividly, contrasting against the darker, often slightly textured or “hairy” skirt. Under balanced white lighting, the coral reveals warm caramel, mocha and olive tones with a clean green core.\u003cbr data-start=\"612\" data-end=\"615\"\u003eWater Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–8.5, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026\u003cbr data-start=\"682\" data-end=\"685\"\u003eFamily: Zoanthidae\u003cbr data-start=\"703\" data-end=\"706\"\u003eLighting: Low to Moderate (PAR 50–120)\u003cbr data-start=\"744\" data-end=\"747\"\u003eWater Flow: Low to Moderate\u003cbr data-start=\"774\" data-end=\"777\"\u003ePlacement: Lower to mid reef\u003cbr data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"808\"\u003eType: Frag \/ Colony\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"1096\"\u003e🧬 \u003cstrong data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"846\"\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"849\"\u003eThe Gorilla Nipples Zoanthus is a classic and highly recognisable zoanthid morph, valued for its unique texture and natural colour palette.
