Zoanthus spp. (Pink) are a popular choice among marine aquarists seeking vibrant, hardy soft coral polyps to enhance their reef tanks. These tiny polyps display a striking pink coloration that adds a splash of colour and natural texture to your marine environment.
Care Level: Suitable for beginner to intermediate hobbyists, 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 vibrant colour without causing bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow helps keep the polyps clean and encourages healthy growth, avoiding stagnant conditions.
Placement: Place these polyps 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.
Compatibility & Reef Safety: Zoanthus spp. are generally reef safe with adequate spacing, making them suitable for mixed coral reef tanks. However, they can produce toxins (palitoxins), so handle with care and avoid contact with open wounds.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, these corals benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Tank Size: No specific minimum tank size is required, but a stable, mature reef environment is recommended for optimal health.
Origin & Size: Origin is not provided. These are tiny-sized polyps, perfect for small to medium reef tanks.
Enhance your marine aquarium with the delicate beauty of Tiny Pink Zoanthus spp., a resilient and visually appealing addition to any reef setup.
