The Zoanthus spp. (Fake Lime Chilli) is a captivating soft coral frag prized for its striking lime green polyps accented with fiery red centres. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy, vibrant specimens suitable for marine reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal for this coral. It thrives under LED or T5 lighting systems providing a balanced spectrum without excessive intensity.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is recommended to keep the polyps gently swaying, which helps prevent detritus accumulation and promotes healthy growth.
Placement: Position the frag in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the reef tank, avoiding direct intense light. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Zoanthids can release toxins.
Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in coral husbandry. Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and water changes.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; keep away from sensitive corals and invertebrates due to potential toxin release. Compatible with most peaceful reef inhabitants.
Regular feeding is not necessary as Zoanthids derive much of their nutrition from photosynthesis, but occasional supplementation with planktonic foods can enhance growth and colour.
