Vibrant Zoanthus Corals: A Splash of Color for Your Reef Tank!

Add breathtaking color and unique texture to your marine aquarium with these stunning Zoanthus corals, beloved by hobbyists for their dazzling patterns and resilience.

Overview

Zoanthus, commonly known as “Zoas” or “button polyps,” are colonial marine invertebrates prized for their vibrant, diverse coloration and patterns. Each colony is composed of numerous small polyps connected by a fleshy tissue called coenenchyme. In their natural habitat, they are found in shallow reef environments with intense light and swift water movement. In an aquarium, they create a captivating carpet of color, spreading across rockwork and adding dynamic visual interest. They are photosynthetic but also capture plankton and particulate matter from the water column.

Care Level

Easy. Zoanthus are remarkably hardy and forgiving, making them an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced reef keepers. They are generally peaceful and adaptable, though some varieties can exhibit competitive growth.

Tank Essentials

A minimum aquarium size of 10 gallons (approximately 40 litres) is recommended. Stable water parameters are crucial, with a preferred temperature range of 24-27°C (75-80°F) and a pH of 8.1-8.4. Maintain salinity between 1.025-1.026 specific gravity.

Diet

Zoanthus primarily derive energy from photosynthesis but benefit from supplementary feeding with fine particle coral foods, phytoplankton, or zooplankton 1-2 times per week.
