Care
Zoanthids (Zoas) are colorful, hardy soft corals that are generally easy to care for, making them a great choice for beginner and experienced reef keepers.
- Lighting: Low to moderate; most prefer moderate lighting. Acclimate slowly to stronger light.
- Water Flow: Moderate, indirect flow. Enough to keep debris from settling without causing the polyps to stay closed.
- Placement: Lower to middle areas of the tank are a good starting point. Adjust based on the coral's response.
- Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic and do not require regular feeding. Occasional small coral foods may encourage growth.
- Temperature: 75–80°F
- Salinity: 1.024–1.026 specific gravity
- Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
- Calcium: 400–450 ppm
- Magnesium: 1,250–1,400 ppm
- Nutrients: Prefer some measurable nitrate and phosphate; ultra-low nutrients can cause poor coloration or growth.
- Growth: Moderate to fast. Zoanthids can spread rapidly across nearby rockwork.
- Care Level: Easy
- Important Safety Note: Some zoanthids can contain palytoxin, a potentially dangerous toxin. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling or fragging them, avoid touching your face, and never boil or expose zoanthid-covered rock to high heat.
