Zoanthus spp. (Premium) Tank-Bred Coral Frag is a captivating soft coral favoured by marine aquarium hobbyists for its vibrant polyps and ease of care. These frags are cultured under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy, acclimatised specimens ideal for reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems are suitable, with gradual acclimation to avoid bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps keep polyps clean and promotes healthy expansion without causing tissue damage.
Placement: Position Zoanthus frags on stable rockwork in mid to lower areas of the tank, allowing room for expansion and preventing overcrowding. Maintain adequate spacing from aggressive corals to avoid chemical warfare.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate hobbyists. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential for long-term health.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Zoanthus spp. are generally reef safe but can release toxins; care should be taken when handling.
Additional Notes: Handle with caution as some Zoanthus species may produce palytoxin. Always wear gloves and ensure good ventilation during fragging or maintenance.
