🧬 Overview

The Eagle Eye Zoanthus is a classic and highly recognisable zoanthid variety, admired for its striking combination of fiery orange, deep purple and fluorescent green.

Each polyp displays a distinctive circular pattern resembling a colourful eye, with a contrasting central mouth surrounded by an intense orange-red disc and a vibrant green skirt.

Under actinic lighting, these contrasting colours become particularly vivid, creating an impressive display even in relatively small frags.

Eagle Eye Zoanthids are also known for their adaptability and relatively straightforward care requirements, making them an excellent addition to both beginner and experienced reef aquariums.

With stable conditions and suitable placement, the frag can gradually develop additional polyps, eventually forming a colourful colony that covers the surrounding rockwork.

Whether displayed individually or combined with other varieties in a dedicated Zoanthid garden, Eagle Eyes offer a beautiful combination of colour, pattern and natural growth.

🍽️ Care & Feeding

Eagle Eye Zoanthids are primarily photosynthetic and obtain most of their energy through their symbiotic algae.

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

Maintaining stable water parameters and moderate nutrient availability helps support healthy polyp extension, coloration and growth.

Provide gentle to moderate indirect water movement to prevent detritus from accumulating between the polyps.

Handling precaution: Zoanthids may contain palytoxin. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling or fragging, and never boil or heat rocks containing these corals.

📍 Placement

Place Eagle Eye Zoanthids in the lower to middle areas of the reef, where they receive low to moderate lighting and gentle to moderate indirect water movement.

Start newly introduced frags in a relatively low-light position and gradually acclimate them to stronger illumination if necessary.

Avoid placing them directly in front of powerful circulation pumps, as excessive flow may prevent the polyps from opening fully.

For a spectacular display, combine Eagle Eyes with contrasting Zoanthid varieties such as King Midas, Rasta or other colourful morphs to create a vibrant Zoanthid garden.

An isolated rock or dedicated frag island can also help control their spread and prevent them from gradually covering neighbouring corals.
