These ultra-vibrant zoas flaunt a dark red to burgundy center with intense pink tentacles — a seductive combo worthy of their name. Easy to grow and stunning under blues!
Lighting:
🔆 Moderate to High (100–250 PAR)
Brighter lighting brings out the deep reds and tentacle contrast.
Flow:
🌊 Moderate
Enough to keep detritus off and promote healthy polyp movement, but not too much to cause retraction.
Water Parameters:
Temp: 76–78°F
Salinity: 1.025
dKH: 8–11
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Nitrate: 5–15 ppm
Phosphate: 0.02–0.08 ppm
Placement:
📍 Low to mid rockwork or plugs
Will spread across frag plugs, rocks, and other surfaces. Give room for growth!
Feeding:
🍽️ Optional
Photosynthetic, but will respond to reef roids or fine particulate coral food for faster growth.
Care Level:
✅ Easy – Great for beginners and high-impact reef aesthetics. Just keep an eye out for zoa-eating pests and maintain water stability.
Note: Frags are not WYSIWYG – each polyp flaunts its own bold personality.
