Candy Apple Green Zoanthids: Vibrant Jewels for Your Reef

Bring a burst of vivid green and captivating color to your aquarium with these stunning Candy Apple Green Zoanthids.

Overview

Zoanthids, often called “Zoas,” are a popular choice for reef aquarists due to their incredible color diversity and hardy nature. The Candy Apple Green variety showcases a striking green body with eye-catching orange and purple highlights, creating a beautiful contrast that enhances any reefscape. These colonial polyps grow in mats or clusters, adding texture and dynamic color to your aquarium. They are known for their peaceful temperament and adaptability, making them a favorite among both novice and experienced hobbyists.

Care Level

Beginner. Zoanthids are generally robust and forgiving, tolerating a range of conditions. Their peaceful nature means they coexist well with most other reef-safe inhabitants, but avoid placing them too close to aggressive corals that might sting them.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended for a small colony. Maintain stable water parameters: Salinity of 1.025-1.026, a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a temperature between 24-27°C (76-80°F). Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep them clean without causing stress.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, Zoanthids derive most of their energy from light. Occasional target feeding with coral foods like brine shrimp or specialized coral polly can boost growth and color vibrancy.
