Overview
The Lemon Edge Zoas bring a splash of citrus brightness to your reef. This uncommon morph combines a radiant yellow oral disc with an emerald-green outer fringe, glowing vividly under blue LEDs.
Perfect for reefers wanting a vibrant pop of colour with fast growth and resilience. Excellent addition to both beginner and collector setups.
Care & Growth
A strong grower in stable tanks. Benefits from occasional feeding with powdered coral food, reef roids or marine snow for enhanced polyp development and vibrancy.
Avoid placing near aggressive corals — despite their peaceful nature, they can be quickly overtaken.
