Descrição

Introducing the Stunning Purple Monster Zoanthid!

Vibrant hues and captivating patterns make the Purple Monster Zoanthid a must-have for any reef aquarium enthusiast.

Overview

The Purple Monster Zoanthid, a striking addition to any marine setup, boasts a mesmerizing deep purple center that transitions to a vibrant green skirt. These colonial polyps grow in mats on hard substrates, creating a carpet of color. They are primarily photosynthetic, deriving most of their nutrition from symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefit from supplemental feeding. Their rapid growth and ease of care make them a popular choice for hobbyists.

Care Level

Easy. Purple Monster Zoanthids are known for their hardiness and adaptability, making them an excellent choice for beginner reef keepers. They are generally peaceful but can overgrow neighboring corals if not given adequate space.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 10 gallons is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature of 75-80°F (24-27°C), pH between 8.1-8.4, and salinity of 1.024-1.026. Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent detritus buildup.

Diet

While primarily photosynthetic, they benefit from supplemental feedings of micro-plankton, phytoplankton, or finely chopped meaty foods a few times a week.
