Indo Cultured Mixed Zoanthids Colony

About this coral

Indo Cultured Mixed Zoanthids Colony is a reef invertebrate made up of multiple zoanthid/palythoa polyps kept as a single colony for display. In practice, it’s used to create a “zoa garden” effect on live rock or aquascape because individual polyps can open during the photoperiod and, over time, spread across nearby surfaces to form an expanding colony. Group-level care guidance applies, since “mixed zoanthids” typically refers to a variety of zoanthid/palythoa types rather than one single, uniquely defined scientific species with identical requirements.

Features:

• Colony-forming zoanthid display that can spread over rockwork for an established “zoa garden” look.
• Polyps open during the day and respond to aquarium lighting and water flow.
• Works well in aquascapes where you want a clustered, low-growing coral cover.
• Generally does best in stable, reef-ready water chemistry with regular maintenance.
• Light and flow are important for keeping polyps clean and fully extended (too little flow can lead to detritus buildup).
• Suitable for aquariums targeting typical reef ranges for temperature, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium.

Specifications:

• Care level (group-level): Beginner-friendly (generally considered hardy when water quality is kept stable).
• Lighting (group-level): Low to moderate light; commonly recommended range about 75–250 PAR (many keepers start lower and adjust).
• Water flow (group-level): Moderate and steady; typically enough flow to help keep polyps clear and extended without blasting.
• Temperature (group-level): About 75–78°F (24–26°C).
• Salinity (group-level): Specific gravity about 1.025–1.026.
• pH (group-level): About 8.1–8.4.
• Alkalinity (group-level): About 8–9.5 dKH.
• Calcium (group-level): About 400–450 ppm.
• Magnesium (group-level): About 1300–1450 ppm.
