Indo Mixed Zoanthids Colony

About this coral

Indo Mixed Zoanthids Colony is a mixed zoanthid/paly (zoantharian) colony for reef aquariums, sold under a “mixed” Indo/collection name. In practice, it’s used as a colorful, fast-filling soft-coral group that can help add patterned growth across rockwork. Because commercial “mixed” zoanthid offerings can include more than one close group and color variety, the most reliable guidance is group-level zoanthid care rather than a single morph-specific claim.

Features:

• Mixed zoanthid/paly colony for adding broad, polyp-style coverage on live rock (general zoanthid husbandry).
• Often considered an accessible soft coral option for reef tanks once lighting and flow are adjusted to prevent polyps from staying closed.
• Generally best placed in low-to-mid to moderate lighting and moderate water movement, then fine-tuned based on polyp expansion.
• If polyps close after acclimation, placement in slightly less intense light and/or different flow is a common first adjustment.
• Zoantharians can produce palytoxin-related hazards; use protective handling precautions when working with zoanthid/paly colonies.
• Group care focuses on stable reef chemistry (especially alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium) rather than heavy feeding requirements.
