Zoanthids are primarily photosynthetic, but occasional target feeding with phytoplankton or reef roids can promote faster growth.
Compatibility & Challenges:
Generally peaceful, but some species can spread aggressively.
May contain palytoxin, a harmful toxin—handle with care.
Regular maintenance helps prevent algae and detritus buildup.
Final Tips:
Provide moderate lighting and flow, maintain stable water conditions, and monitor growth to prevent over-colonization. Zoanthids are a beginner-friendly, vibrant coral that adds movement and diversity to any reef aquarium!
