LA Lakers Zoa Starter Colony
Starter Colony | 7–10 Polyps
LA Lakers Zoanthid is an aquacultured zoanthid coral starter colony with 7–10 established polyps, selected for health, structure, coloration, and long-term growth in reef tanks. Unlike single-polyp frags, this fully healed multi-polyp colony arrives securely attached and ready for placement, making it a solid choice for beginners and for anyone building a zoa garden.
You will receive one of the colonies shown, or another fully established LA Lakers Zoanthid colony containing 7–10 healthy, established polyps of equal quality and size. Fully healed, securely attached, and ready for placement in your tank.
