Alien Explosion Zoanthid: A Reef Kaleidoscope for Your Aquarium

Immerse your reef tank in a vibrant spectacle with the Alien Explosion Zoanthid! This striking coral offers dazzling colors and straightforward care, perfect for any aquarist.

Overview

The Alien Explosion Zoanthid (*Zoanthus* spp.) boasts a mesmerizing mix of bright, contrasting colors, typically featuring a vibrant green or yellow mouth surrounded by rings of purple, pink, or orange. These soft-bodied polyps form an encrusting colony, creating an animated carpet of intense hues across your rockwork. Known for their fast growth and captivating appearance, they add dynamic beauty and movement to your healthy aquarium fish and coral display.

Care Level

Considered easy to care for, the Alien Explosion Zoanthid is an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate reef keepers. They are generally peaceful but can spread rapidly, so ensure adequate space from other corals. Always handle Zoanthids with care, wearing gloves, as they contain a mild toxin.

Tank Essentials

A mature reef aquarium of at least 40 litres is suitable for these adaptable corals. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.0-8.4, temperature 24-29°C, and moderate to strong, indirect water flow. Provide moderate to high lighting to bring out their best coloration and promote robust growth.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, Alien Explosion Zoanthids derive most of their energy from your aquarium lighting. Supplement their diet occasionally with fine particulate foods such as zooplankton or brine shrimp to encourage faster growth and more vibrant colors.
