Zoanthus spp. (Scrambled Eggs) is a popular soft coral frag known for its striking yellow and green polyps that resemble scrambled eggs. This cultured frag is grown under controlled conditions, ensuring healthy and vibrant specimens ideal for reef tanks.
Care Level: Suitable for beginner to intermediate hobbyists due to its hardy nature.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended. Zoanthus spp. thrive under LED or T5 lighting setups that provide sufficient PAR without excessive intensity.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep polyps gently swaying and free from detritus accumulation.
Placement: Place the frag on rockwork in a location with moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive corals to prevent chemical warfare or overgrowth.
Compatibility: Reef safe with caution; while generally peaceful, Zoanthus spp. can release toxins harmful to nearby corals if stressed or damaged. Maintain good water quality and monitor for pests such as zoa-eating nudibranchs.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, deriving nutrition from symbiotic zooxanthellae. Occasional feeding of fine particulate foods like phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods can promote growth.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Not Provided; typically grows in small colonies but can spread over time.
Minimum Tank Size: 60 litres (15 gallons) recommended to maintain stable water parameters.
