Fire and Ice Zoa
Fire and Ice Zoa
Fire and Ice are a crazy mixture of different shades of various blues and reds in the mouth and centre region, almost giving it a "clash of elements" feel as if fire and ice are combating.Among the various red and blued mouth and centre then bleeds into a navy blue that transition into a bright red skirt lashes.
Caution is advised when handling specimens of the family, due to the ability to excrete Palytoxins under duress. Would advise to glove up when handling and to wash hands thoroughly after.
Zoas like stability in basic tank parameters (Alkalinity, Calcium and Magnesium) but can handle being placed in newer set ups.
Locally sourced from a sustainable Coral Farm and picture shown is provided by the supplier (frags may differ to image shown).
Coral Care:
Care Level - Easy
Flow - Moderate to High (zoanthids and paly's appreciate more flow than you'd think)
Lighting/Placement - Low to High (Generally zoas do well in an array of lighting conditions, if they begin to stretch out though, this may indicate they want to be in higher light. Colours will also change either brighten up, darken or even sometimes morph into new colours in different lighting conditions)
Temperament - Peaceful (However when happy can grow excessively and smoother other corals as they grow and expand the colony size, some recommend keeping zoa's and paly's on their own rock islands isolated away from other species of corals)
Frag Size - come on standard plugs and the coral will be fully healed and growing, all zoa and paly frags are guaranteed to come with 2-3 heads minimum, some plugs may come with additional zoa's are no additional costs just due to the nature and growth in the farming set up)
