White Zombie Zoanthids

About this coral

White Zombie Zoanthids are a type of ornamental zoanthid polyp coral (commonly sold under the zoanthids & palys category) used to add dense, colorful polyp growth to reef aquascapes. In practice, they’re valued for establishing colonies that can be placed on live rock to create eye-catching “carpet” or patch-style coverage over time in a suitable reef tank. Because sellers often trade named color varieties, this listing is best understood as group-level zoanthid/paly coral guidance rather than a single, uniquely documented scientific strain.

Features:

• Attractive, fast-spreading polyp colonies that help build visual coverage on rockwork in reef displays
• Zoanthids are photosynthetic reef invertebrates, so they typically benefit from consistent aquarium lighting
• Works well as a focal accent or as patch coverage to connect hardscape areas
• Usually pairs best with gentle-to-moderate, steady water movement to keep polyps clean and productive
• Ideal for aquascaping placements where they can expand without being repeatedly knocked or shaded
• Generally adaptable when placed into stable reef conditions and allowed time to acclimate
• Good choice for mixed reef aquariums where other compatible corals and invertebrates are thriving

Specifications:

• Care level (general guidance): Generally tolerant compared with many specialty corals, but still benefits from stable reef parameters
• Lighting: Moderate lighting is commonly used for zoanthids; increase cautiously if needed
• Water flow: Gentle to moderate, consistent flow
• Placement: On stable rock surfaces where they can expand without being buried or shaded
• Temperature: About 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity: About 1.023–1.026 specific gravity
• pH: About 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: About 7–11 dKH
• Calcium: About 380–450 ppm
• Magnesium: About 1,200–1,350 ppm
• Diet: Primarily photosynthetic; occasional dissolved/particulate foods can be added when appropriate for reef tanks
