Green Button Polyps have rather large polyps with green centers and brown skirts. They are colonial animals with multiple individual polyps that are attached to a plug, disc, or live rock rubble for you to purchase.

They need to have space between their colony and any neighbors since they tend to crowd them out. They require a medium light level combined with a medium water movement within the aquarium. Each paly has different lighting requirements. They can thrive under PC, T-5, or Metal halide lighting. Start your new purchase near the bottom of your system and monitor its health and color. A paly’s color will fade if it receives too much light or not enough light. So start your paly near the bottom of your reef and slowly raise it toward the lights. Monitor the zoa after each move for 4-5 days. If the color changes or fades move it further down in the aquarium. Enough current is needed to carry nutrients to the colony. For continued good health, they will also require the addition of iodine and other trace elements, along with food such as phytoplankton, marine snow, or other foods for filter feeders.

They will reproduce easily under the right conditions by budding (splitting at base of polyp) and spread over surrounding rocks in the reef aquarium.
