Johnny Pumpkin Zoanthus: Your Splash of Orange in the Reef!

Add a captivating burst of vibrant orange to your reef aquarium with the easy-to-care-for Johnny Pumpkin Zoanthus. These colonial polyps bring dynamic color and interest to any setup.

Overview

The Johnny Pumpkin Zoanthus is a stunning soft coral, prized for its intense, eye-catching orange coloration, often with contrasting blue or green centers. These small, flower-like polyps grow in colonies, forming beautiful mats that can spread across your rockwork. They are peaceful and do not sting other corals, making them excellent candidates for a vibrant “Zoa garden” in your reef.

Care Level

Considered easy to care for, the Johnny Pumpkin Zoanthus is an ideal choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They are very adaptable and will thrive in a stable reef environment with moderate water flow and moderate to high lighting. They are peaceful and generally compatible with most other reef inhabitants.

Tank Essentials

A well-established saltwater aquarium of at least 40 litres is suitable for these polyps, allowing for future growth. Maintain stable parameters: temperature 22-26°C, pH 8.1-8.4, and salinity 1.024-1.026. Moderate, indirect water flow helps keep detritus clear from the polyps.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, Johnny Pumpkin Zoanthus corals gain most of their energy from their symbiotic zooxanthellae. While not strictly necessary, they will benefit from occasional spot feeding with zooplankton or coral snow to enhance growth and coloration.
