Campfire Zoanthids
Campfire Zoanthids are a vibrant and eye-catching variety of zoanthid coral, prized for their intense coloration and ease of care. These polyps typically display a fiery mix of red and orange with contrasting red outer rings, reminiscent of glowing embers—hence the name “Campfire.” Under actinic lighting, their colours truly pop, making them a standout piece in any reef aquarium.
Campfire Zoanthids are ideal for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. They thrive in moderate light and flow conditions and can quickly form dense colonies when provided with stable parameters. Like other zoas, they benefit from regular feeding of small particulate foods and proper nutrient levels to maintain their vibrant colours and growth.
Aquarium Care Requirements:
Lighting: Moderate to high lighting enhances their vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Low to moderate flow to keep polyps clean without causing stress.
Placement: Best suited from the bottom to middle areas of the tank, depending on light intensity.
Feeding: Not necessary, but it benefits from occasional coral foods or amino acid supplements.
Aggression: Generally peaceful but should be given enough space to avoid contact with aggressive corals.
