🧬 Overview
The Superman Hornet Zoanthus is a colourful collector morph characterized by the dramatic contrast between cool blue and purple pigmentation and fiery red-orange tones.
The face develops rich blue, violet and purple shades, while the surrounding warmer pigmentation creates a powerful red-versus-blue contrast reminiscent of the iconic Superman colour palette.
The skirt adds another layer of colour, displaying red to orange-red tones that become especially vivid under blue-heavy reef lighting.
Under actinic illumination, the warmer pigments develop strong fluorescence while the blue and purple areas remain deep and saturated, producing an impressive high-contrast appearance.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Superman Hornet Zoanthus is primarily photosynthetic and performs well in established reef aquariums. Moderate indirect flow helps prevent detritus accumulation between the polyps, while occasional fine particulate coral foods may support growth and colony development.
📍 Placement
Place in the lower to middle areas of the reef under low to moderate lighting. Gradual acclimation is recommended when introducing the frag to stronger illumination.
⚠️ Handling
Zoanthids may contain palytoxin or related compounds. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling or fragging, avoid contact with the eyes and mouth, and never boil, steam or expose the colony to very hot water.
