Ultra Goblins Fire Zoanthids

About this coral

Ultra Goblins Fire Zoanthids are live zoanthid/paly-type soft corals made of small, encrusting polyps that use their symbiotic algae for energy. In a reef tank, they’re typically used as a colorful, colony-forming coral that you can place on rockwork for gradual spread and a steady “polyps on display” look.

Features:

• Colony of zoanthid/paly polyps that’s generally well-suited to reef displays when given appropriate light and flow.
• Photosynthetic nutrition: they primarily rely on light, so stable lighting helps support long-term health.
• Prefer moderate, steady water flow to help keep detritus off the polyps while avoiding overly strong blasts.
• Placement matters: many keep zoanthids in mid-to-lower regions initially, adjusting as needed so polyps stay open and aren’t blasted.
• Useful as a “color polyps” accent coral; allow space because zoanthids can spread over time.
• When handling, use caution: zoanthids/palythoa are associated with palytoxin exposure risk, so proper safety practices are important.

Specifications:

• Care level (general group guidance): Easy to intermediate (general zoanthid/paly care)
• Lighting (general group guidance): Low to moderate to moderate lighting; commonly cited around ~75–250 PAR depending on the aquarium and acclimation
• Water flow (general group guidance): Moderate, steady flow; too much flow may cause polyps to close and/or hinder feeding
• Placement (general group guidance): Often placed mid-to-lower or in shaded/controlled-flow areas at first, then adjusted for open polyps
• Diet: Primarily photosynthetic (light-driven); optional supplemental feeding with coral foods can be used
• Temperature (general reef range guidance): Commonly referenced range ~76–81 °F
• Scientific name: UNVERIFIED
