Red Magician Zoanthus: A Fiery Jewel for Your Reef

Unleash vibrant colour and unique beauty with the Red Magician Zoanthus, a stunning coral sure to captivate any aquarist.

Overview

The Red Magician Zoanthus is a collector’s favorite, celebrated for its intense ruby-red skirts and a deep crimson center that often glows under actinic lighting. Its striking coloration, with darker outer tones, creates a rich, mystical appearance. These hardy, fast-growing colonial polyps form dense mats on rockwork, making them excellent for creating eye-catching “zoa gardens.” They are semi-aggressive and will spread, so provide adequate space between them and other corals.

Care Level

Easy. Zoanthus corals are known for their hardiness and adaptability, making them a suitable choice for beginner reef keepers. They are peaceful but can spread aggressively, requiring placement with ample space.

Tank Essentials

Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature of 24–26°C (75–80°F), a pH of 8.0–8.4, and salinity of 1.024–1.026. Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent detritus buildup while delivering nutrients. They thrive under moderate to high lighting (PAR 100–200), though gradual acclimation to intense light is recommended to prevent bleaching.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, Red Magician Zoanthus benefit from occasional supplemental feeding with fine coral foods or zooplankton to boost growth and coloration.
