The Button Polyp Coral, Palythoa sp., is a type of colonial coral that is exceptionally hardy and grows fast. It is a perfect beginner coral for new aquarists and experts alike. They will often grow as solitary polyps but tightly spaced in colonies. They should be kept with moderate lighting, moderate waterflow, and be placed towards the bottom of the tank with ample room in between them and neighbors. Of interest is that the Button Polyp produces palytoxin so do not handle the coral with bare flesh and be sure to wash any instruments used to handle the coral after handling. Otherwise, Button Polyps are great corals because they are easy to maintain and add a variety of color to many tanks.
