{"product_id":"green-zoanthid","title":"Green Zoanthid","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vibrant Green Zoanthid is a stunning addition to any reef aquarium, displaying a beautiful mix of bright green, yellow, and blue hues. Each polyp opens to reveal a captivating star-like pattern, creating a lush, carpet-like appearance as it grows. These soft corals are known for their striking coloration and ability to add dynamic visual interest to both new and established tanks. They are excellent for filling in empty spaces and providing a burst of natural beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZoanthids thrive under moderate PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) lighting, typically ranging from 75 to 150 PAR. While they can adapt to a range of lighting conditions, too intense light can cause them to close or bleach. Moderate, indirect flow is ideal, allowing the polyps to gently sway and preventing detritus accumulation without causing them to retract constantly. Place them on live rock or in a sandy area where they have room to spread without encroaching on sensitive corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZoanthids are largely photosynthetic, deriving most of their energy from their symbiotic zooxanthellae. While supplemental feeding is not strictly necessary, they will benefit from occasional feedings of very fine zooplankton or coral-specific foods. Maintain stable water parameters: salinity at 1.025-1.026, temperature at 74-78°F, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, calcium 400-450 ppm, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm. Regular water changes help maintain water quality and provide essential trace elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese soft corals are generally peaceful but can sometimes irritate neighboring corals if they grow too close. Provide adequate space for growth and ensure good water circulation around them. When introducing new Zoanthids, a slow drip acclimation over 30-60 minutes is recommended to minimize stress. Always inspect new colonies for pests, particularly Zoanthid-eating nudibranchs or sundial snails, and dip if necessary before introduction to the main display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen Zoanthids are celebrated for their ease of care and rapid propagation, making them an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced reef keepers. Their hardiness and dazzling coloration make them a staple in many mixed reef aquariums, offering a low-maintenance way to achieve a thriving, colorful display. They are a true centerpiece that will enhance the beauty and biodiversity of your aquatic environment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42429163012151,"sku":"EMA-SOF-20260903-6EJ6","price":55.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/4b1d9df3-0fb3-441c-9984-9ba2978d03dd-_MG_4695.png?v=1788468871","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/green-zoanthid","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
