🧬 Overview
The Green Eye Galaxy Zoanthus is a striking collector morph prized for its vivid fluorescent centres, rich contrasting skirts, and reliable colony growth. Each polyp displays a brilliant glowing green "eye" that immediately draws attention, especially under blue-spectrum reef lighting.
As the colony matures, the densely packed polyps create a vibrant carpet of fluorescent colour, making this variety an excellent choice for zoanthid gardens, mixed reefs, or dedicated collector displays. Its outstanding fluorescence and hardy nature make it equally appealing to beginners and experienced reef keepers.
Selected for:
• Brilliant fluorescent green centres
• Excellent colour contrast
• Outstanding actinic fluorescence
• Fast-growing colony formation
• Premium collector Zoanthus
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Although primarily photosynthetic, Zoanthus benefit from occasional supplemental feeding, which can encourage faster growth and improved polyp development.
Recommended feeding:
• Reef Roids
• Phytoplankton and fine zooplankton blends
• Amino acid supplements
• Fine powdered coral foods
Maintaining stable water chemistry and moderate nutrient levels will help maximise colour intensity and encourage rapid colony expansion.
