Red People Eater Zoanthid: A Fiery Focal Point for Your Reef

Infuse your marine aquarium with the stunning, vibrant hues of the Red People Eater Zoanthid. These beginner-friendly soft corals offer an explosion of color and captivating polyp activity.

Overview

The Red People Eater Zoanthid (*Zoanthus spp.*) is a visually striking soft coral, renowned for its intense brick-red to deep maroon polyps, often accented by a brilliant neon green or blue mouth. Each relatively large polyp forms a carpet-like colony, swaying gracefully in your tank’s current. Their distinctive appearance and tendency to form colourful mats make them a captivating addition to any healthy aquarium.

Care Level

Considered easy to care for, Red People Eater Zoanthids are ideal for both novice and experienced aquarists. They are peaceful corals, though their rapid growth can lead to them crowding out nearby corals if placement isn’t carefully considered. Always handle with gloves due to potential palytoxin.

Tank Essentials

Provide a stable environment for your Red People Eater Zoanthid in an aquarium of at least 75 litres. They thrive with moderate water flow and adaptable lighting, from low to moderate intensity. Optimal water parameters include a pH of 8.1-8.4 and a temperature of 25-27°C.

Diet

These zoanthids are primarily photosynthetic, relying on the symbiotic algae within their tissues. Supplement their diet occasionally with finely chopped frozen foods, zooplankton, or powdered coral foods to boost their growth and coloration.
