Bring stunning, intricate patterns of color to your aquarium with these dazzling Eagle Eye Zoanthids, a favorite for their beauty and ease of care.

Overview

The Eagle Eye Zoanthid (*Zoanthus spp.*) is a captivating coral, prized for its unique coloration that resembles a target, featuring a vibrant green oral disk ringed with orange and a deeper outer skirt. These colonial polyps grow in mats and can quickly transform any aquascape into a living carpet of color. Native to the Indo-Pacific, they are found in reef flats and lagoonal zones, contributing to the reef’s biodiversity. They are generally peaceful but can spread, so provide adequate space.

Care Level

Easy. Eagle Eye Zoanthids are a fantastic choice for beginners due to their hardiness and adaptability. While generally peaceful, they are considered semi-aggressive as they can spread and potentially outcompete neighboring corals if given insufficient space.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 100 litres (approx. 26 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters: pH 8.1-8.4, salinity 1.024-1.026, temperature 23-28°C (74-82°F), with Alkalinity 8-12 dKH, Calcium 380-450 ppm, and Magnesium 1250-1450 ppm. Keep nitrates below 10 ppm and phosphates below 0.10 ppm.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, they derive most nutrition from their symbiotic zooxanthellae algae. Occasional supplemental feedings with phytoplankton, rotifers, or coral-specific foods can enhance growth and coloration.
