Add a burst of color and life to your reef with Zoanthids, one of the most popular and diverse coral species in the hobby. Known for their bright, vibrant polyps that come in a wide range of colors—including shades of orange, green, blue, purple, and red—Zoanthids are a stunning and low-maintenance addition to any aquarium.

These corals are easy to care for, making them perfect for both beginners and experienced reef keepers alike. They grow quickly, often forming dense colonies that create a beautiful, living carpet of color on the substrate, rocks, or frag plugs. Zoanthids thrive under moderate to high lighting and low to moderate water flow, making them adaptable to a variety of reef setups.

Zoanthids prefer stable water conditions and benefit from regular feeding with planktonic foods, though they can also derive nutrition from light through their symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae (photosynthetic algae). These corals are generally peaceful, but due to their rapid growth, they can sometimes compete with nearby corals for space, so be mindful of their placement in your tank.

With their fast growth, wide color variety, and easy care, Zoanthids are an excellent choice for any reef aquarium. They offer an instant pop of color and can rapidly fill gaps in your aquascape, making them a favorite among hobbyists looking to add vibrancy and dynamism to their tank with minimal effort.
