The Pinwheel Zoa (Zoanthus sp.) is a dynamic, high-contrast designer zoanthid named for its distinctive, swirling visual pattern. Celebrated for its bright geometric color blocking, this morph features a central oral disc divided into crisp, alternating radial wedges of bright neon-green, yellow, and deep purple or blue, giving the face the appearance of a spinning carnival pinwheel.
Framed by a neat ring of contrasting magenta or emerald skirt tentacles, it adds sharp detail and movement to any zoa garden.
Coloration: Alternating radial wedges of neon green, yellow, and royal blue/purple across the face disc, capped with a magenta, teal, or green skirt.
Growth Pattern: Colonial mat (encrusts across rockwork, plugs, or rubble, forming tight, uniform polyp colonies).Sold as 2-5 polyps.
Lighting: Low to Moderate (PAR 75–150).
Water Flow: Low to Medium (Gentle, indirect current).
Feeding: Photosynthetic; optional feeding with fine coral powders or liquid aminos will boost growth and polyp size.
Aggressiveness: Peaceful (blends safely into mixed Zoanthus gardens).
Care Level: Easy.
