Zoanthus spp. are popular soft coral polyps prized for their vibrant colours and ease of care in marine reef aquariums. This premium grade selection features tiny polyps, perfect for aquarists looking to add delicate texture and colour to their reef tanks.
Care Level: Suitable for beginner to intermediate hobbyists, these corals require stable water parameters and moderate lighting.
Lighting: Moderate lighting is recommended, such as LED or T5 fixtures, to support healthy growth without causing bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow helps keep the polyps clean and promotes optimal health.
Placement: Place Zoanthus spp. on rockwork or substrate where they can spread without being overshadowed by more aggressive corals. Ensure adequate spacing to prevent competition or stinging from neighbouring corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, these corals benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid aggression.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water quality and stable parameters will ensure long-term success. Handle with care, as some Zoanthus species can produce palytoxin; always wear gloves when fragging or handling.
