Overview

Zoanthus, often called button polyps or sea mats, are colonial invertebrates renowned for their incredible diversity in color and patterns. These soft corals form attractive mats of individual polyps, adding stunning visual appeal to any reef aquascape. While generally considered robust, their long-term health and vibrant coloration are best achieved with stable environmental conditions.

Care Level

Easy. Zoanthus are known for their hardiness and adaptability, making them an excellent choice for beginners. However, consistency in their environment is key to preventing issues like colony “melting.”

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature of 24-27°C (75-81°F), a salinity of 1.024-1.026, and a pH of 8.1-8.4.

Diet

Zoanthus primarily get energy through photosynthesis but benefit from occasional supplemental feeding with finely ground marine foods or specialized coral feeds.
