Info

Protopalythoa mutuki (Haddon, Shackleton, 1891)

Protopalythoa oder Palythoa is a genus in the Zoanthidae family.

Some Protopalythoa species can be highly toxic under certain circumstances, note to the Introduction section. Therefore, one should always be careful in dealing with Protopalythoa zoanthids (zoas).

There are several scientific publications that describe only very small genetic differences between Protopalythoa and Palythoa, so a coming revision will bring clarity on whether both genera are valid.

Menschenfresser Zoas

Krustenanemonen sind sowohl bei erfahrenen Aquarianern als auch bei Anfängern äußerst beliebt. Die kleinen farbenprächtigen Polypen kommen in schier unendlicher Vielfalt an Farbvarianten vor und lassen sich in der Regel sehr einfach im Aquarium halten und vermehren.

Ich kann nur jeden vor diesem Tier warnen! Es vermehrt sich sehr schnell und man bekommt es nicht mehr aus dem becken raus. Ein versuch die Krustenanemone mechanisch unter Wasser mit Handschuhen zu entfernen endete im Krankenhaus!
Also Finger weg von dem Zeug und gleich die befallenen Steine wegwerfen!!!
