Species: Zoanthus sp.
Coral Type: Zoanthus
Physical Description: Bam Bam Zoanthids are one of the most recognizable and sought-after orange zoanthid varieties, prized for their intensely fluorescent coloration and rapid growth. Each polyp features a glowing fiery orange oral disk often accented with subtle concentric ring patterns and surrounded by a bright orange skirt that creates a bold, uniform appearance. Under actinic and blue-spectrum lighting, the colony fluoresces brilliantly, producing a vivid neon-orange glow that instantly stands out in any reef aquarium. As the colony matures, the polyps spread readily across rockwork and frag plugs, forming dense mats of striking orange polyps that add exceptional color and movement to mixed reef systems.
Coral Type: Zoanthus
Lighting: Moderate (approximately 80–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate with gentle, indirect flow
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional broadcast feeding of fine particulate foods such as reef roids or phytoplankton.
Aggression: Low; generally peaceful and ideal for mixed reef aquariums.
Substrate: Best placed on rockwork, frag plugs, or isolated zoanthid garden islands where the colony can naturally spread and expand.
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of any cross-contamination between systems, meaning all our livestock are ready for your display tanks.
