Aussie Deadpool Zoas

About this coral

Aussie Deadpool Zoas is a named zoanthid coral for adding a colony of small, flower-like polyps to a reef aquarium. The shop name identifies a named variety, but does not establish a precise species or its particular color traits. Zoanthids are colonial corals: individual polyps are joined by tissue across a mat, and the colony can be displayed on suitable, stable rock. The guidance below is general for zoanthids; adjust placement to the coral’s response and the conditions in your aquarium.

Features:

• A colonial coral suited to reef displays, with polyps connected by a spreading tissue mat.
• Typically relies on light and symbiotic algae for much of its energy; feeding is not a substitute for stable water conditions.
• General starting conditions are moderate lighting and gentle-to-moderate, indirect water movement. Avoid blasting the polyps with a direct current.
• Place on stable rock where the colony has room to expand, while keeping it from overgrowing neighboring corals.
• Zoanthids may contain palytoxin. Avoid contact with cuts or eyes, and do not boil, scrub, or aerosolize coral tissue or aquarium water.

Specifications:

• Coral group: Zoanthid coral; exact species and named-morph traits are not established.
• Care level: General zoanthid care; maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony after placement.
• Light: Moderate light is a reasonable general starting point; acclimate gradually.
• Water flow: Gentle-to-moderate, indirect flow; avoid a strong direct jet.
• Placement: Stable rock with room for the colony to spread.
• Diet: Primarily photosynthetic; some zoanthids may take fine particulate foods, but feeding needs vary.
• Typical reef parameters: General guidance: temperature 24–27°C, salinity 1.азы 1.025 specific gravity, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. Stability is important.
