Zoanthus spp. (Blue) | XL

Zoanthus spp. (Blue) are popular soft corals known for their striking blue polyps and ease of care, making them a favourite among marine aquarium enthusiasts. This extra large specimen offers a bold splash of colour and dynamic movement within your reef environment.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colouration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with a PAR range of 50-150 are suitable.

Water Flow: Provide gentle to moderate water flow to ensure proper nutrient exchange and to prevent detritus accumulation around the polyps.

Placement: Position the coral on stable rockwork in mid to lower areas of the tank to avoid direct intense light and strong currents. Allow adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and overgrowth.

Care Level: Suitable for beginner to intermediate hobbyists due to their hardy nature and adaptability.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid competitive interactions.

Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions will promote healthy growth and vibrant colours. Feeding is generally not required as Zoanthus spp. derive nutrition from photosynthesis and dissolved organics, but occasional supplementation with coral foods can be beneficial.
