Zoanthus spp. (Grand Master Krakatoa) is a captivating soft coral frag prized for its intense, fiery colouration and dynamic appearance. This single polyp frag is tank-bred, ensuring sustainable sourcing and enhanced acclimation to captive reef environments.
Care Level: Moderate. Zoanthids are generally hardy but require stable water parameters and moderate lighting.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colours and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems are suitable.

Placement: Position in mid to lower areas of the reef tank where lighting and flow conditions are stable. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive neighbours to prevent chemical warfare or overgrowth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Zoanthids can coexist with most reef-safe species but may release toxins if stressed.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific supplements can promote growth.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; typically, individual polyps reach 1-2 cm in diameter.
