Zoanthus spp. (Green) | XL

Zoanthus spp. (Green) – Extra Large is a captivating soft coral known for its bright green polyps and ease of care, making it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced marine aquarists. These colonial polyps add vibrant colour and texture to reef tanks, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain the vivid green coloration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.

Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the polyps gently swaying and free from detritus accumulation. Avoid strong currents that may cause the polyps to close frequently.

Placement: Position the coral on stable rockwork in areas with moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive neighbouring corals to prevent chemical or physical damage.

Care Level: Zoanthus spp. are considered moderate in care, requiring stable water parameters and regular maintenance. They benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods or coral supplements but primarily rely on photosynthesis.

Compatibility: Reef safe with most tank inhabitants, though caution is advised around certain fish or invertebrates that may nip at polyps.

Regular monitoring of water quality, including parameters such as temperature, salinity, and nutrient levels, will promote healthy growth and vibrant colours.
