Zoanthus, a zoanthid. Beginner to keep, typical PAR 75–150, moderate flow.
Also sold as Strawberry Wines, Strawberry Wine Zoanthids.
A loose trade name. Sellers use it loosely, so trust the photo over the label.
Collector tier: uncommon, reviewed 2026-08. In stock at 1 surveyed shop on 2026-09-28.
A large-polyp zoa with a pink face, which one grower calls speckled and another says carries faint dark markings. The tentacles around it are green, or brownish with green tips. No source gives the mouth a colour of its own.
A pink face on big polyps, ringed in green. A Pink Zipper is also pink speckle around green, but the face underneath is dark purple and the skirt plum; a People Eater has a purple face and a neon green mouth. The hard one is the Tyree Space Monster, described in the same words (pink centre, lime green skirt): one shop sells this polyp as the OG Tyree Space Monster, and keepers still argue whether they are two corals. Nobody is named as its originator.
Low to middle rock, enough flow to keep detritus off the mat. Strawberry Wine is beginner to keep at a typical PAR of 75–150 in moderate flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral, not measured on this one.
No verified sales yet. A range publishes once 3 dated, checkable records from 3 different sources exist, priced per polyp and reported as a median, with what shops ask kept separate from what buyers paid. One polyp, so a ten-polyp frag is divided by ten. Listings that do not state the count are dropped rather than assumed. Nothing on this page is for sale. The survey found it at 1 of the 106 shops read on 2026-09-28. A range publishes from 3 shops up, so 2 more would have to list it before a figure appears here. One shop's asking price is that shop's opinion rather than a market.
