Zoanthids (Zoanthus spp.) Lighting Requirements: Low to Moderate Water Flow: Low to Medium Care Level: Easy Placement: Lower to Middle Levels Temperament: Peaceful Zoanthids are a popular soft coral known for their bright, colorful polyps and ease of care. These corals are often seen in vibrant hues of green, orange, pink, and purple, and they can create stunning, carpet-like colonies that cover rocks or substrates in the aquarium. Zoanthids are well-loved for their hardiness and rapid growth, making them a great choice for beginner and advanced hobbyists alike. Zoanthids do well under low to moderate lighting, and they prefer low to medium water flow, which helps keep their polyps extended and healthy. They are primarily photosynthetic but will benefit from occasional feedings of small plankton or coral foods to support optimal growth and color. Known for their peaceful temperament, Zoanthids are ideal for reef tanks with other corals. However, they should be given adequate space to grow and spread, as some species can release toxins when stressed.
