Overview

The Orange Dot Green Zoanthus is a captivating coral variety known for its intense green polyps with a bold orange center, creating a striking contrast that stands out in any reef aquarium. Under actinic lighting, the orange core fluoresces, producing a glowing effect that enhances the vibrancy of the colony. This fast-growing and hardy zoanthid is an excellent choice for reef keepers looking to introduce a pop of color and texture to their setup.

Care & Feeding

Zoanthus corals are low-maintenance and thrive in a moderate to high light environment with moderate water flow. This setup helps prevent debris buildup and encourages full polyp extension.

While they primarily depend on photosynthesis, occasional feedings of zooplankton, reef roids, or amino acids can further boost their growth and intensify their coloration.

Optimal Parameters

  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8-12

  • Calcium (Ca): 400-450 ppm

  • Magnesium (Mg): 1250-1350 ppm

  • Nitrate (NO3): 1-10 ppm

  • Phosphate (PO4): 0.01-0.05 ppm

Placement

This zoanthid variety is best positioned in the bottom to mid-level of the aquarium, where it can receive moderate water flow to promote health and prevent detritus buildup. It is a peaceful coral, making it suitable for mixed-reef environments, though its rapid growth should be monitored to prevent encroachment on neighboring corals.
