Zoanthus spp. (Green) are popular soft coral polyps known for their bright green coloration and ease of care, making them a great choice for both beginner and experienced reef keepers. These small polyps form colonies that add vibrant colour and dynamic movement to your marine aquarium.
Care Level: Moderate. Zoanthus spp. require stable water parameters and moderate lighting to thrive.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal, such as LED or T5 fixtures, to maintain their vivid green colour without causing bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow helps keep the polyps clean and encourages healthy growth without damaging their delicate tissue.
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 chemical warfare or overgrowth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, relying on symbiotic zooxanthellae algae. Occasional feeding of fine particulate foods like phytoplankton or coral-specific supplements can promote growth.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Zoanthus spp. are generally reef safe but can release toxins, so avoid placing them too close to sensitive corals.
Origin & Size: Origin is not provided. This listing is for small-sized polyps, suitable for various reef tank setups.
Regular water changes and maintaining stable water chemistry will help ensure the health and longevity of your Zoanthus spp. coral colony.
