Zoanthids can be quite hardy, but use caution as certain color variants can require lower nutrient levels. All our photos are taked with an IPhone 13 Pro with an orange polyp lab filter. We strive to meet color accuracy and do not perform color correction after a photo is taken. However, coral colors can change when stressed or based on your lighting spectrum. 

Zoanthids rank among the most sought-after corals in the reef-keeping community, celebrated for their dazzling fluorescent colors and fast growth. These soft corals develop into sprawling colonies of individual polyps, forming vibrant carpets that can dramatically enhance the look of any reef aquarium. Well-known varieties such as “Rastas,” “Eagle Eyes,” and “Pandoras” highlight the remarkable diversity of patterns and shades Zoanthids provide, making them a staple for aquarists of all skill levels.

Closely related to Zoanthids are Palythoa corals. Though similar in appearance, Palythoa species typically feature larger polyps and denser mat structures. An important distinction lies in their potential to produce palytoxin—a powerful toxin present in certain Palythoa and Zoanthid species. Because this substance can pose risks to humans and pets, safe handling practices are crucial. Always use gloves and eye protection when working with these corals, and avoid exposing them to high heat, which may release toxins into the air.

Highly adaptable, Zoanthids flourish in a wide range of aquarium environments. Their rapid growth and ability to form colorful colonies make them an excellent choice for adding both texture and visual appeal to reef tanks.

CAUTION:

Zoanthids and Palythoa species produce Palytoxin in different concentrations. Palytoxin is a potent toxin harmful to humans and pets. Always wear gloves and eye protection when handling these corals, and avoid exposing them to high heat, which can release airborne toxins. DO NOT BOIL CORAL OF ANY KIND. Proper personal protective equipment and caution are essential to prevent accidental exposure when handling
