Blue Sinatra Zoanthids

About this coral

Blue Sinatra Zoanthids are a reef-aquarium zoanthid/paly-type soft coral grouping sold as “blue sinatra” polyps for aquascape color and a lively, polyp-on-display look. Zoanthids are colonial cnidarians (individual polyps sharing living tissue), and they are commonly kept in reef tanks because they can add bold visual impact to rockwork once acclimated and placed correctly. They’re typically used in displays where you want a hardy, colorful coral that can spread over time on suitable substrate and can fit well into mixed reef lighting and flow plans.

Features:

• Fast-growing polyps that can help create a fuller, more textured look on your rockwork over time.
• A zoanthid colony grows from individual polyps, making it well suited to the “seed and spread” style of aquascaping.
• Supports reef setups that aim for stable water chemistry (zoanthids are generally sensitive to swings that cause prolonged closure).
• Works best when kept free of sediment or detritus on the polyps and placed where flow is strong enough to reduce buildup without blasting the colony.
• Good choice for aquarists seeking a colorful soft coral for reef displays rather than high-demand stony-coral husbandry.

Specifications:

• Group-level care level: General zoanthid husbandry is typically described as beginner-friendly, with the main requirement being stable conditions and appropriate light/flow.
• Lighting (general guidance): Low to moderate lighting is commonly recommended for zoanthids.
• Water flow (general guidance): Moderate, steady flow helps prevent detritus from accumulating on polyps.
• Temperature (general guidance): About 24–26°C (consistent temperature is important).
• Salinity (general guidance): Specific gravity around 1.025–1.026.
• pH (general guidance): About 8.1–8.4.
• Alkalinity (general guidance): About 8–9.5 dKH.
• Scientific name: UNVERIFIED
