Lighting Zoanthids
When compared to the blue zoanthids the orange zoanthids retain their color much better and adjust to lighting situations better. Tunze Stream pumps helped me create the right amount of current for my zoanthids. This current allowed the zoanthids to grow and remain healthy despite in captivity.

Zoanthids in the Reef Aquarium
When you place the zoanthids on the bottom of the aquarium you will want to ensure that it is on rock that is exposed to the currents. Otherwise, the zoanthids won’t be able to get the trace elements and nutrients they need. Each step is fairly easy and overall the pink zoanthids are not difficult to care for. It’s just ensuring that you know what each step is and ensure that it is followed. The zoanthids will expand the colony most of the time so don’t crowd them with other coral specimens. Zoanthids will need supplemental feedings on occasion although the zooxanthellae provide them with most of their nutrients.
