🧬 Overview

The King Midas Zoanthus is a stunning golden-yellow zoanthid variety that brings a brilliant splash of colour to any reef aquarium.

Named after the legendary King Midas and his golden touch, this coral features vibrant yellow-gold oral discs and matching skirts, creating the appearance of tiny golden flowers covering the rockwork.

Under suitable reef lighting, its rich metallic tones become especially eye-catching, making it an excellent choice for collectors looking to introduce bright yellow coloration into their aquariums.

King Midas Zoanthids are relatively easy to maintain in stable reef systems. With time and suitable conditions, individual polyps can multiply and form attractive colonies, making them ideal for dedicated Zoanthid gardens and colourful mixed reefs.

🍽️ Care & Feeding

King Midas Zoanthids are primarily photosynthetic, obtaining much of their energy through their symbiotic algae.

Direct feeding is generally unnecessary, although occasional broadcast feeding with fine particulate coral foods or appropriately sized zooplankton may provide additional nutrition.

Maintain stable water parameters, moderate nutrient availability and gentle to moderate water movement.

Avoid excessive direct flow, which can cause polyps to remain closed.

📈 Optimal Parameters

These are practical starting ranges; acclimation and stability are important.

📍 Placement

Place King Midas Zoanthids in the lower to middle areas of the aquarium, where they receive low to moderate lighting and indirect water movement.

Gradually acclimate them to your aquarium lighting to avoid unnecessary stress.

For an especially attractive display, combine King Midas with contrasting Zoanthid varieties to create a colourful garden.

An isolated rock is also an excellent option if you wish to control their spread and prevent them from growing over neighbouring corals.

Handling precaution: Zoanthids should be handled with gloves and eye protection because some may contain palytoxin. Avoid cutting or scrubbing them outside water.
