Zoanthus spp. (Red-Orange) | T

Zoanthus spp. (Red-Orange) Tiny Soft Coral Polyps are a captivating addition to any marine reef aquarium. Known for their vivid red-orange hues, these polyps add vibrant colour and dynamic movement to your coral display.

Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in soft coral husbandry. These polyps are relatively hardy but benefit from stable water parameters.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal. Zoanthus spp. thrive under LED or T5 lighting systems that provide balanced PAR levels without excessive intensity.

Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is recommended to keep the polyps clean and healthy without causing them to retract.

Placement: Place these polyps on rockwork or substrate where they can spread and receive adequate light and flow. Ensure sufficient spacing from aggressive corals to prevent chemical warfare.

Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, relying on symbiotic zooxanthellae algae. Occasional feeding of microplankton or coral foods can enhance growth and colour.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Zoanthus spp. are generally reef safe but can produce toxins harmful to other tank inhabitants if stressed or damaged.

Origin & Size: Origin is not provided. This listing is for Tiny-sized polyps, perfect for growing colonies or fragging.

Regular water changes and maintaining stable water chemistry will support healthy growth. Avoid exposure to direct chemical contaminants and handle with care due to potential palytoxin presence.
