ECC Rasta Zoanthid

ECC Rasta Zoanthid

Species: Zoanthus sp.

Coral Type: Zoanthus

Physical Description: Rasta Zoanthids are one of the most recognizable zoanthid varieties, featuring a vibrant combination of colors including a bright green outer ring, yellow inner ring, and deep red or orange center. Each polyp forms a round oral disk surrounded by a short skirt of tentacles, creating the classic zoanthid flower-like appearance. As the colony grows, the polyps spread across rockwork and frag plugs, forming dense clusters or mats. Under actinic lighting, the contrasting colors fluoresce intensely, making them a standout piece in any zoanthid garden.

Coral Type: Zoanthus
Lighting: Moderate (approximately 80–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate with gentle, indirect flow
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic but can benefit from occasional broadcast feeding of fine particulate foods such as reef roids or phytoplankton.
Aggression: Low; generally peaceful and suitable for mixed reef aquariums.
Substrate: Best placed on rockwork, frag plugs, or isolated zoanthid islands where the colony can spread naturally.
