Magician Zoa

Overview

The Magician Zoa Zoanthid Coral is a visually stunning and fast-growing zoa with a distinctive starry effect on deep red to burgundy plates adorned with white or silver glitter-like speckles. Its vivid neon-green center surrounded by a crown of dark tentacles makes it an enchanting focal point perfect for vibrant reef aquascapes.

Colorization

Displays a striking deep red to burgundy background with dazzling silver speckles across the polyps, complemented by a neon-green center that pops brilliantly under reef lighting.

Size

Available as 0.5 – 1 inch frags featuring 2-3 large polyps, providing an eye-catching size ideal for centerpiece placement within zoanthid gardens or mixed coral setups.

Lighting

Thrives best under low to moderate lighting conditions. Higher light intensity enhances the richness of red tones but may slightly reduce polyp size.

Water Flow

Prefers medium water flow to keep polyps clean and free from detritus accumulation, promoting healthy growth and vibrant coloration.

Feeding

While primarily photosynthetic, this zoanthid benefits from occasional feedings of finely minced meaty foods or zooplankton to support robust health.

Aggressiveness

Peaceful in nature and compatible with community reef tanks. However, it can expand over slower-growing neighbors if not given adequate space.

Care Level

Easy to care for, making it suitable for both beginner and experienced reef hobbyists seeking a dynamic centerpiece coral with low maintenance requirements.
