Zoanthids are an order of cnidarians commonly found in coral reefs, the deep sea, and many other marine environments around the world. These animals come in a variety of different colonizing formations and in numerous colors. They can be found as individual polyps, attached by a fleshy stolon or a mat that can be created from small pieces of sediment, sand and rock.

Zoanthids feed both by photosynthesis, aided by the zooxanthellae they contain, and by capturing plankton and particulate matter. Although photosynthesis aids in their nutrition, even species that do not actively capture plankton cannot live through photosynthesis alone.[1] Zoanthis can eat meaty foods, such as lancefish, brine shrimp, krill and bloodworms.

If you are looking for something easy to keep to start your journey in coral keeping the Button Polyps or Zoanthids can be a good one to start with.
