Zoanthus spp. (Halle Berry) is a captivating soft coral frag prized for its vivid colouration and ease of care in marine reef aquariums. This tank-bred frag offers hobbyists a reliable and sustainable option to enhance their reef environment with its distinctive polyps and vibrant hues.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is ideal to maintain the coral’s bright colours and encourage healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems providing a PAR range of approximately 50-150 are suitable.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow is recommended to ensure adequate nutrient exchange and to prevent detritus accumulation around the polyps without causing excessive stress.
Placement: Position this frag in a location with moderate light and flow, avoiding direct strong currents. Allow 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. Regular water quality monitoring and stable parameters will support optimal health.
Additional Notes: Zoanthus spp. contain palytoxin, a potent toxin; handle with care using gloves and avoid contact with open wounds. Frag plugs or small bases are typical for this frag size, facilitating easy placement in reef aquariums.
