The image displays a Bonsai Acropora coral, specifically an Acropora valida "Bonsai" variety, known for its distinct appearance in reef aquariums.
Appearance:
This coral is recognized by its deep purple base, vibrant green polyps, and delicate lavender to white growth tips, creating a striking contrast, especially under blue lighting.
Growth and Care:
The Bonsai Acropora exhibits a compact, bushy branching growth form and thrives in stable reef aquarium environments with high light (300–400 PAR) and strong, varied water flow.
Water Chemistry:
Maintaining stable levels of essential elements like calcium (420-440 ppm), alkalinity (8-9.5 dKH), and magnesium (1300-1450 ppm) is crucial for its health and skeletal structure.
Popularity:
The Purple Bonsai Acropora is a classic and highly sought-after SPS (Small Polyp Stony) coral in the reef-keeping hobby, valued for its beauty and relatively forgiving nature compared to some other Acropora species.

Zoanthids require standard water parameters that are good for keeping just about any corals healthy. You're aiming for tropical water temperatures (about 78F/25.5C), normal ocean salinity (somewhere around 1.025 specific gravity), normal hardness (8-12 dKH), and a pH around 8.0-8.4.

How much light a zoanthid needs ?

For zoanthids, you need at least 4 to 5 watts per gallon of light. However, tall aquariums need more light, since light dissipates when traveling through water. Most reef tanks take advantage of powerful types of aquarium lighting like metal hallides, T5 fluorescents and LED arrays.
