Zoanthus Sp – Zoanthus zoanthid coral with colourful individual polyps.
You receive the exact specimen shown in the original photographs. Specimen 402. The photographs were taken under blue aquarium lighting; colours can look different under your own lighting.
Light: low to moderate; acclimate gradually. Flow: gentle to moderate and indirect; avoid debris accumulation.
On a separate rock with space for the colony to spread.
Mainly supported by light; offer fine food sparingly only when a response is visible.
Wear gloves and eye protection when handling. Never heat, boil or aggressively work on them out of water; some zoanthids can contain toxic substances.
Start with small target feedings once or twice weekly if the coral accepts food; reduce feeding if nutrients rise.
As a general reef starting point: 24–26 °C, salinity 34–35 PSU, alkalinity 7–8.5 dKH, calcium 410–450 mg/l and magnesium 1,250–1,400 mg/l. Stability matters more than abruptly chasing a number. For this mixed-reef starting range, aim roughly for nitrate 5–15 mg/l and phosphate 0.03–0.10 mg/l, without sudden corrections. Check trends rather than reacting to a single reading.
For a consistent testing routine, see our reef water testing guide.
