❤️✨ Red Magician Zoanthus
Zoanthus sp. – Cut-to-Order Frag (Propagation From Our In-Store Mother Colony)
Please note:
This coral is CUT-TO-ORDER — each frag is freshly propagated from our thriving in-store Red Magician mother colony. Photos represent the colony, not the exact frag you will receive.
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Easy–Moderate
Temperament: Peaceful
Colour Form: Intense ruby-red skirts with a deep crimson centre and glowing hot-red to cherry highlights around the oral disc. Under actinic spectrum, the polyps ignite into a neon blood-red glow with metallic undertones, making Red Magicians one of the most striking warm-tone zoanthids available.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–9, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Zoanthidae
Lighting: Moderate–High (PAR 100–200)
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect
Placement: Rockwork or islands (avoid shading from fast growers)
🧬 Overview
The Red Magician Zoanthus is a collector-favourite morph known for its saturated red pigmentation and excellent fluorescence. Propagated directly from our in-store mother colony, these frags show:
-
fast growth
-
strong polyp extension
-
reliable colour stability
-
easy adaptation compared to imported wild specimens
Tank-grown Red Magicians retain their vivid red tones consistently and encrust rapidly, making them ideal for both beginners and advanced zoa keepers.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, though they benefit from occasional fine-particle feeding (Reef Roids, Coral Dust, Phyto blends) to boost growth rate and polyp expansion. Maintain stable nutrient levels — zoas prefer mild nitrate and phosphate availability.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 400–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in moderate light and flow to maintain the richest red tones. Too much light can wash colour; too little may reduce fluorescence. Ensure enough space to allow spreading as the colony matures.
