What are the polyps of the buttons?

Coral type, Polyps button gets their name from their appearance. They are part of the Coral family zooanthus and are primarily photosynthetic. They live on rock surfaces and do not require careful maintenance, so they are useful for the habitat of artificial tanks. The circular upper part has the tentacles all around it. Polyps can be one of many colors such as brown, yellow or red. They look similar to marine anemones.

The polyps button is photosynthetic, which means they can produce all the energy they need in sunlight and can become a brighter color if they get a lot of light. Photosynthesis is mediated by the presence of algae zooxanthellae in a polyp, which acts as a symbiont and produces energy in exchange for a prosper. Like the ability of photosynthesis, corals can get energy and nutrients from little marine life such as plankton or brine. In nature, polyps of buttons collect this meal when driving toward polyps in waterstream. Polyps attack larger organisms, such as Blenny Fish, although larger organisms such as crustaceans or butterfly fish can damage polyps by nibbling at the ends of the tentacles.

The growth and spread of polyps of the buttons occurs by biting an existing polyp. The new bud, which is connected to the base of the first polyp, grows and into a new adult polyp. Similar coral to polyps buttons, the sea mat looks superficial, but it can be distinguished after the presence of a large mat, from which the new polyps burns, unlike the lack of the basic mat, which is characteristic of buttons. The buttons tend to spread quickly and take over the available space on the rocks in the aquarium.

and the Tyh Polyps button is not too demanding in their environmental requirements, they prefer to grow in water that does not move too quickly. Because they are photosynthetic, they do best with high light level but PTerrible must be maintained at low light levels, then the addition of plankton or other feed is advantageous. Artificial spread is relatively simple, because everything necessary is to cut off one polyp from the original group, and this is attached to gravel under the conditions of slow water flow.
