Rasta Zoanthids: Vibrant Color for Your Reef Aquarium

Bring a dazzling splash of tropical color to your marine setup with these iconic Rasta Zoanthids. Known for their stunning orange-red centers and vivid green/blue skirts, they are a true showpiece.

Overview

Rasta Zoanthids (*Zoanthus sp.*) are highly sought-after soft corals, celebrated for their unique and vibrant color patterns. Each polyp typically features a fiery orange-red center, surrounded by a bright green ring, and a deep blue to purple outer skirt. These corals form colonial mats and can spread across rockwork, creating a captivating carpet of color in your reef aquarium. They are relatively fast growers and can add significant visual interest to any aquascape.

Care Level

Easy. Rasta Zoanthids are known for their hardiness and adaptability, making them an excellent choice for beginner to intermediate reef keepers. They are generally peaceful but should be given adequate space due to their potential to spread.

Tank Essentials

These corals thrive in stable marine aquarium conditions. Maintain a water temperature between 75-80°F (24-26°C), a specific gravity of 1.024-1.026, and a pH of 8.1-8.4. Provide moderate, indirect water flow to keep polyps clean without stressing them.

Diet

Rasta Zoanthids are primarily photosynthetic, deriving most of their nutrition from symbiotic zooxanthellae. However, they will benefit from supplemental feedings of finely chopped meaty foods, phytoplankton, or coral-specific foods 1-2 times per week.
