Zoanthus spp. (Stratosphere) is a captivating soft coral frag known for its vivid colours and dynamic appearance, making it a popular choice among marine aquarium enthusiasts. This listing features a tiny frag with 2 polyps, cultivated through responsible tank-bred methods to ensure quality and sustainability.
Care Level: Suitable for hobbyists with some experience in coral husbandry. This coral requires stable water parameters and moderate care.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant colouration without causing stress. LED or T5 lighting systems with adjustable intensity work well.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep the polyps gently swaying, which aids in nutrient exchange and prevents detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position the frag in a shaded or semi-shaded area of the reef tank, avoiding direct intense light and strong currents. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression or overgrowth.
Diet: Zoanthus spp. primarily rely on photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae but will benefit from occasional feeding of microplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is generally reef safe but can release toxins if stressed, so careful placement is advised.
Additional Notes: Regular water changes and stable water chemistry will promote healthy growth. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water flow to reduce stress.
