Coral o’ the day | Zoanthids

Coral o' the day | Zoanthids

Zoanthids are my first foray into soft coral.  I chose to start with them because they are very colorful and from what I hear, they are easy to take care of.  While I am still waiting for them to grow, they supposedly grow rather rapidly.

A couple things you are going to want to make sure of are:

1. That you have enough light in your aquarium.  If you have a nano aquarium and are running power compacts or metal halide’s you should be fine for these types of soft coral.  

2. They do require phytoplankton for food so you should make sure you have that on hand as well.  Usually you can buy that by the bottle at your local fish store.

3. Lastly you will want to check your iodine/iodide levels to make sure they are in safe ranges.  I use Seachem’s Reef Iodide which is a safer alternative to iodine.

Other than that so far things are going well.  My little frags are still going strong after 2 weeks.  I’ll keep you all posted.
