Fruit Loops Zoas

Fruit Loop Zoanthids are widely considered one of the most beautiful and colorful varieties in the reef hobby. True to their name, these polyps feature a dizzying array of concentric color rings that mimic the famous cereal. A classic Fruit Loop typically boasts a glowing green or blue mouth, surrounded by a vivid purple or blue disk, and finished with a striking bright orange or red skirt. Because their colors are so distinct and high-contrast, they are a “must-have” for any hobbyist looking to add a pop of rainbow color to their zoa garden.

Coloration: Multi-colored rings featuring neon green, electric blue, deep purple, and bright orange/red skirts

Size: 2-4 polyps

Lighting: Moderate (colors often pop best under T5/LED hybrids or high-actinic blue light)

Water flow: Medium (prefers enough flow to keep the small polyps free of debris)

Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but will benefit from micro-plankton or powdered coral foods

Aggressiveness: Peaceful (a classic choice for “Zoa Rocks”)

Care Level: Easy to Moderate (can be slightly more sensitive to alkalinity swings than common brown palys)
