Curator's Note

Blue Zoo's are very rare and sell out extremely quickly when we get them. Remember, we sell entire colonies of polyps not just frags of two or three individual Zoanthids.

Other Common Names

Sea Mats, Button Polyps, Colony Rock

Description

Zoanthids are a big favorite among reef aquarists. Their bright and interesting color combinations are sure to excite you. Zoanthids are a great coral for coverage of live rock. These polyps will frequently come attached to old coral colonies, oyster shells, and other interesting shaped rocks.

Solomon Zoanthids form thick mats that will quickly spread from the rock they come on to adjacent pieces of live rock. Blue Zoanthids are one of the most sought after of all the Zoanthid colorations. They will do very well under medium lighting such as Compact Fluorescent or T5 but will thrive and remain stunningly vibrant under Metal Halide lighting. Zoanthids are a member of the Palythoa family and excrete a toxin that is harmful to humans. Gloves should be worn when handling this coral, especially if you have cuts or abrasions on your hands.

Diet

Requires little to no supplemental feeding as they are mostly photosynthetic but will appreciate the occasional target feeding of planktivore foods and meaty foods chopped or blended finely. We recommend using Cyclopeeze as a supplemental food or try our Blue Zoo Mix which is rich in both Cyclopeeze and Golden Pearls.
