Fire and Ice Zoanthids: Dazzling Color for Your Reef

Ignite your aquarium with the vibrant “Fire and Ice” Zoanthids, a stunning colonial coral renowned for its striking red and blue coloration.

Overview

The “Fire and Ice” Zoanthid, scientifically known as *Zoanthus sp.*, is a captivating soft coral celebrated for its intense coloration, featuring fiery red or orange centers that transition to a cool blue outer ring. These colonial polyps grow from a mat-like base, spreading across rock surfaces to form dense, colorful colonies. They are especially radiant under blue-spectrum lighting, creating a vivid, glowing display that makes them a focal point in any mixed reef aquarium. This species is aquacultured, ensuring a healthy start and adaptability to home aquariums.

Care Level

Easy. Zoanthids, including the “Fire and Ice” variety, are known for their hardiness and adaptability, making them an excellent choice for beginner reef aquarists. They can tolerate minor fluctuations in water parameters and thrive with consistent care.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 100 litres (approx. 22 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature range of 23-26°C (73.4-78.8°F) and a pH of 8.1-8.4. Moderate to high lighting (50-150 PAR) and moderate water flow are ideal.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, they derive most nutrition from their symbiotic zooxanthellae. Supplemental feedings of fine coral foods like micro-plankton or baby brine shrimp can enhance growth and color vibrancy.
