These colonial polyps form mats that gradually spread across substrates, creating a dynamic carpet of color in your reef aquarium. They are relatively hardy and adaptable, making them a popular choice for aquarists seeking to add bold, eye-catching patterns to their marine tanks.

Care Level

Easy. Purple Death Zoanthids are hardy and forgiving, making them an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate reef keepers. They are generally peaceful but can exhibit moderate aggression by overgrowing nearby corals if given the space.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 100 litres (approx. 25 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature of 22-28°C (71.6-82.4°F), and a pH of 8.1-8.4. Salinity should be between 1.024-1.026.

Diet

These corals primarily derive nutrition from their symbiotic zooxanthellae through photosynthesis. They benefit from supplemental feeding with phytoplankton or powdered coral foods.
