Captain Jerk Palythoa

Description

Captain Jerk is a large-polyp palythoa morph with a patterned disc that stands out even in a mixed zoa garden. Native to the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific region, the Captain Jerk Palythoa is a hardy and relatively low-maintenance coral species, making it an excellent choice for beginner and experienced reef enthusiasts alike. It is as undemanding as palys get — moderate light, moderate flow — and like every palythoa it gets handled with gloves and eye protection.The name is ridiculous, which is half the reason people remember the coral. It fits either end of a tank’s life — an early colony in a new setup, or a pattern piece in an established zoa garden. Its ability to thrive in a variety of lighting and water flow conditions makes it a versatile and adaptable coral option for any tank. Bring the beauty of the ocean into your home with the Captain Jerk Palythoa.

Care Guide
Zoanthids (and their close relatives, Yuma/Palythoa) are colonial polyp corals prized for bold, saturated color and rapid spread. They’re hardy and adaptable to a wide range of lighting and flow, making them an excellent choice for reefers at any experience level — though as always, handle with gloves since zoanthids can contain palytoxin.

Placement: Lower to middle rockwork in a well-lit, low-flow area. Handle with gloves — palytoxin risk.
