Species: Zoanthus sp.
Coral Type: Zoanthus
Physical Description: Eagle Eye Zoanthids are classic, highly recognizable button polyps known for their bold contrast and sharp, “target-like” patterning. Each polyp typically features a bright neon green oral disk with a vivid red to orange ring encircling the center, often transitioning into a darker outer skirt of deep maroon or brown. This creates a striking concentric design that resembles an eye with precise definition, giving the colony its iconic “Eagle Eye” appearance. Under actinic and blue-spectrum lighting, the fluorescent green center glows intensely while the red ring deepens in saturation, producing a crisp, high-contrast visual effect. As the colony matures, it spreads across rockwork and frag plugs, forming dense mats of vividly patterned polyps.
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 but capable of spreading across available substrate over time
Substrate: Best placed on rockwork, frag plugs, or isolated zoanthid garden areas where controlled growth is desired
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.
