Zoanthus spp., commonly known as Zoanthids or ‘Zoas’, are popular soft corals prized for their vivid colours and ease of care in marine reef aquariums. This extra large variant from Vietnam features a range of bright, attractive polyps that create a stunning visual display.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours without causing bleaching. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep polyps gently swaying and free from detritus accumulation.
Placement: Place Zoanthus spp. on live rock or coral plugs in areas with moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive corals to prevent overgrowth or stinging.
Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some reef experience. Regular water parameter monitoring and stable conditions promote healthy growth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Compatible with most peaceful reef inhabitants but avoid placing near corals with strong sweeper tentacles.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but benefit from occasional feeding of microplankton or coral foods to enhance growth and colour.
Originating from Vietnam, these Zoanthus spp. are a vibrant addition to any marine aquarium looking to showcase diverse soft coral species.
