Are zoas easy to care for?
Zoanthid corals, affectionately called zoas by aquarium hobbyists in online forums (I guess because “zoanthid corals” is too long to type), are a trendy type of coral kept in reef tanks. Why? Because they are relatively easy to grow, maintain, frag, AND they are available in amazing, brilliant, fluorescent colors.
Where do rasta zoas go?
Rasta Zoanthids are easy to keep and are a great choice for the beginner. Zoanthids and Palythoa will grow and reproduce by budding. Placement: Mount the Rasta Zoanthids using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock lower in the aquarium where they will receive direct flow and light.
Can you mix ZOAS?
The short answer is yes they can. One can outgrow the other and drown it out. If you see large zoa colonies you can see different ones mixed in so they can survive with each other but it is hard to say which ones won’t drown the other out.
Do zoas need white light?
Any light can grow zoas.
Do zoanthids need blue light?
