Overview
The Speckled Gold Zoanthus Colony is a stunning L-size specimen that adds a burst of luxurious gold and subtle neon accents to your reef tank. The base of each polyp boasts a rich golden hue, with speckled patterns and vibrant green or yellow centres that glow under the right lighting. This beautiful zoanthid is a fantastic choice for reef tanks seeking unique colouration and texture.
As a colony, it quickly spreads, filling up space with stunning polyps and creating a striking contrast with other corals in the aquascape. Perfect for hobbyists looking to add both elegance and vibrancy to their setups.
Care & Feeding
Like most Zoanthus, this coral is photosynthetic but will appreciate supplemental feeding. Offering zooplankton, finely chopped seafood, or dedicated coral foods will help maintain its health and promote full polyp extension. Feeding 1–2 times per week is ideal for keeping the colony thriving.

Placement
Place the Speckled Gold Zoanthus Colony on a stable rock or in a low to moderate flow area. They prefer moderate lighting for optimal colouration but can adapt to slightly lower or higher light conditions. Keep them away from aggressive corals to avoid tissue damage.
