Overview
The Royal Pulse Zoas are a refined and captivating morph of Zoanthus sp., featuring a velvety purple disc accented by a luminous yellow center. This regal pairing gives each polyp the appearance of a glowing heartbeat — subtle by day, radiant under blues.
Perfect for collectors building a color-coordinated zoa garden or anyone wanting a low-maintenance splash of contrast and movement in their reef.
Care & Feeding
Extremely hardy and ideal for beginners, these zoas thrive with stable parameters and good lighting. They are photosynthetic but respond well to amino acid and iodine supplementation, which boosts color and growth rate.
Mount on frag plugs or rock islands to control spread, especially in mixed coral setups.
