Halle Berry Zoas

About this coral

Halle Berry Zoas are zoanthid/palythoa-style soft corals sold as colorful polyp colonies for reef aquariums. In practical terms, they’re used as easy-care display corals: the polyps expand over the rockwork to create bright, active “living” color, and they can help fill in stable areas of a mixed reef scape.

Features:

• Attractive polyp colonies that add movement and color to reef rock
• Typically thrive in established saltwater aquariums with stable water conditions (general zoanthid guidance)
• Use medium lighting and moderate water flow to support normal polyp expansion (general guidance)
• Often benefit from good placement—closer to reef lighting for best daytime appearance (general guidance)
• May accept supplemental feeding while primarily relying on photosynthesis (general zoanthid guidance)
• A popular choice for aquarists building a hardy, low-fuss coral section in a mixed reef display

Specifications:

• Group: Zoanthids & Palys (zoanthid/palythoa-style polyps)
• Care level (general guidance): Generally considered hardy for a reef soft-coral category when water parameters are stable
• Lighting (general guidance): Moderate light
• Water flow (general guidance): Moderate, gentle-to-moderate indirect flow
• Placement: On reef rock where polyps can comfortably extend and receive consistent lighting
• Diet (general guidance): Primarily photosynthetic; supplemental feeding with small particulate foods may be accepted
• Temperature (general reef range): About 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity (general reef range): About 1.024–1.026 specific gravity
• pH (general reef range): About 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity (general reef range): About 7–11 dKH
• Calcium (general reef range): About 380–450 ppm
• Magnesium (general reef range): About 1,250–1,400 ppm
