Snow Yeti Zoanthids

About this coral

Snow Yeti Zoanthids are live zoanthid polyps for reef aquariums, commonly sold as named color morphs within the zoanthid family of corals. They’re prized for adding dense, colorful polyp coverage to live rock, making them a popular choice for aquascaping and growing reef “patches” over time. Use them to create eye-catching focal points in mixed reef tanks where soft-bodied corals can thrive under suitable light, stable water chemistry, and gentle circulation.

Features:

• Zoanthid polyps help create lively, textured reef surfaces on appropriately cured live rock or rubble
• Typically photosynthetic, so they generally perform well under reef-capable aquarium lighting
• Prefer gentle, indirect water movement to deliver nutrients without blasting the polyps
• Well-suited for many reef displays as a hardy, low-to-moderate maintenance coral group (group-level guidance)
• Can benefit from regular aquarium feeding via dissolved organics and particulate foods that reach the polyps
• Best results come from stable, well-established tank conditions rather than frequent parameter swings

Specifications:

• Coral group: Zoanthids (group-level care guidance applies)
• Lighting (general guidance): Moderate to strong aquarium light
• Water flow (general guidance): Gentle, indirect flow
• Placement (general guidance): Attach to stable rock where lighting and flow are appropriate; start in the lower-to-mid range and adjust if needed
• Feeding (general guidance): Mostly rely on light; benefit from dissolved organics and small particulate foods captured by the polyps
• Temperature (general guidance): About 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity (general guidance): Reef range, commonly ~1.024–1.026 specific gravity
• pH (general guidance): Around ~8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity (general guidance): Commonly ~7–11 dKH
• Calcium (general guidance): Commonly ~380–450 ppm
• Magnesium (general guidance): Commonly ~1250–1350 ppm
