Zoanthus spp. (Fiji-Tonga) | M

Zoanthus spp. (Fiji-Tonga) Medium is a captivating soft coral species prized for its vibrant polyps and ease of care in marine reef aquariums. Originating from the Fiji and Tonga regions, these corals add dynamic colour and texture to your reef setup.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain optimal polyp extension and colour vibrancy. Avoid intense direct light to prevent bleaching.

Water Flow: Moderate water flow is ideal, ensuring that detritus does not settle on the polyps while avoiding excessive turbulence that could damage the coral.

Placement: Position Zoanthus spp. on stable rockwork with adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy expansion. They can be placed in mid to lower areas of the tank depending on lighting.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate aquarists with some experience in coral husbandry. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters are essential.

Compatibility and Reef Safety: Zoanthus spp. are generally reef safe with adequate spacing, but care should be taken to avoid contact with more aggressive corals.

Additional Notes: These corals benefit from stable water parameters and occasional feeding of fine particulate foods or coral supplements to support growth.
