Description

Meet the Sunny Scrambled Eggs Zoa!

Brighten your reef with these cheerful, eye-catching zoanthids, famous for their vibrant yellow centers and captivating patterns.

Overview

The Scrambled Eggs Zoa, belonging to the *Zoanthus* genus, is a popular soft coral celebrated for its unique appearance. Each polyp typically features a bright, golden-yellow center, reminiscent of its namesake, often surrounded by contrasting green, orange, or creamy white rings and skirts. These colonial polyps form dense mats and spread readily, creating a stunning carpet of color on live rock or substrate. They are primarily photosynthetic but can benefit from occasional feeding. Due to their potential to contain palytoxin, always handle with care.

Care Level

Easy. Scrambled Eggs Zoas are generally considered beginner-friendly due to their hardiness and adaptability. They can tolerate minor fluctuations in water parameters but thrive best with stable conditions. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow.

Tank Essentials

These corals prefer a stable reef aquarium environment. Recommended parameters include a temperature of 24-26°C (75-78°F), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a salinity of 1.024-1.026. Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to keep polyps clean and promote extension.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, deriving most energy from symbiotic zooxanthellae. Occasional feeding with small, meaty foods like phytoplankton or specialized coral foods can enhance growth and coloration.
