Coral Identification?

[lauriepacific]

I purchased a colony of "Yellow Eyelash Coral", but I'm having trouble finding info on this coral - maybe it goes by another name? Does anyone know the actual name of this coral? Also, should this coral be target fed and if so would "Coral Frenzy" be a good food choice?

Thanks for your help!

yellow parazoanthus, they will sting about anything, and grows like a weed whether you feed it or not.

Wow! you need alot of room for those and hope there not close to SPS if so say good bye they do sting any and everything, you do not need to target feed

Thanks wicked demon for your reply. Do the "eyelashes" sting or does this Parazoanthus have sweeper tentacles?

The "eyelashes" or fingers, or skirt, yes-that is the part of the coral that contains the stinging cells. No zoanthid species have sweeper tentacles.
