Indo Combo Zoanthids

About this coral

Indo Combo Zoanthids are a zoanthid (sea mat / button polyp) colony selection for reef aquariums, sold as a mix of polyps intended to create a colorful, carpet-like display over time. For practical purposes, treat them as zoanthids (Zoanthus spp. used by some care references as the group name) and follow general zoanthid group guidance for lighting, flow, and placement.

Features:

• Fast-growing, colorful polyps suited to reef displays (general zoanthid group guidance).
• Best kept in lower to middle areas, where their colony can establish without being blasted by strong currents.
• Provide moderate lighting to support their mostly photosynthetic lifestyle.
• Use low to moderate water flow to keep polyps extended without over-blasting the colony.
• Offer periodic target feeding (a couple of times per week is suggested in at least one general care reference for zoanthids).
• Give space between nearby corals, since zoanthid colonies can be semi-aggressive and may crowd or interact with neighboring polyps.
• Handle during maintenance with care; zoanthid/palythoa relatives are known for protective toxins, so use appropriate precautions when working around them.

Specifications:

• Group / identification basis: Zoanthid-type soft coral (zoanthid/button polyp group; some references use Zoanthus spp. as the general group name).
• Care level (general): Easy / beginner-friendly (reported by multiple coral retailers for Indo zoanthid selections).
• Lighting: Moderate to high (retailer guidance includes “medium light”/“moderate” for Indo zoa; one care listing also notes PAR 100–250).
• Water flow: Low to moderate (some retailer guidance lists medium flow).
• Placement: Bottom to middle of the aquarium (general retail guidance for Indo zoa).
• Feeding: Mostly photosynthetic; one care reference suggests feeding a typical carnivorous diet a couple of times per week.
• Adult / max size (group reference): Max size about 0.5 in (group reference for zoanthids).
