Vibrant Watermelon Zoanthids: A Colorful Addition to Your Aquarium

Bring the dazzling beauty of a tropical reef into your home with these stunning Zoanthus polyps, showcasing a captivating watermelon-like coloration.

Overview

Zoanthus Watermelon, often called “Watermelon Zoas” or “Whammin Watermelon,” are a beloved variety of soft coral known for their striking green and red-pink hues, resembling the fruit they’re named after. These colonial polyps form attractive mats, adding vibrant texture and color to any reef aquarium. Zoanthids are generally easy to care for, making them a popular choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. They are photosynthetic but will benefit from occasional feeding.

Care Level

Easy. Zoanthids are known for their hardiness and adaptability. They are peaceful but can spread, so give them adequate space. Handle with care, as some zoanthids can contain palytoxin.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 100 litres (approx. 22 gallons) is recommended. Stable water parameters are crucial: maintain a pH of 8.0-8.4, salinity of 1.024-1.026, and a temperature of 23-27°C (73.4-80.6°F).

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, they benefit from occasional supplemental feeding with micro-plankton or baby brine shrimp to enhance growth and coloration.
