Vibrant Bluette Zoanthus: Captivating Color for Your Reef

Add a stunning splash of electric blue to your marine aquarium with these breathtaking Bluette Zoanthus corals. Known for their intense coloration and ease of care, they are a fantastic choice for aquarists of all levels.

Overview

The Bluette Zoanthus, often referred to by trade names like “Blue Hornets” or “Blue Steel,” is a captivating colonial coral. Each polyp features a vibrant blue skirt with a contrasting, often yellow or orange, oral disc and tentacles. These corals form dense mats, spreading across rockwork and creating a carpet of color. They are generally peaceful, making them suitable for community reef tanks, but can grow to encrust neighboring corals if not managed.

Care Level

Easy. Bluette Zoanthus are forgiving and adaptable, making them a great choice for beginners. However, consistency in water parameters is key to their long-term health and vibrant coloration.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 100 litres (approximately 22 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, salinity 1.025-1.026, and a temperature of 24-27°C (75-80°F).

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, these corals benefit from occasional target feeding with small, nutrient-rich foods like phytoplankton or specialized coral foods.
