Bob Marley Zoa

Zoanthids, or Zoas, refer to the soft coral that look like small colorful flowers.  They are colonizing, fast growing, easy to care for and are, arguable, one of the most popular corals.  Unlike many other corals, Zoas are peaceful and don’t sting other surrounding coral.    One fun and visually interesting thing to do is to “plant” a Zoa garden as they can be placed directly next to other Zoas and coral without difficulty. With so many available vibrant colors, Zoas can make quite a display.    Many Zoas, under reasonable conditions, can grow quite quickly, although it varies by strain.  They can be placed on rocks and allowed to spread out – and you can move the rocks as desired.  Because Zoas are quite adaptable in terms of light, nutrients and water flow.  Zoas are soft coral and don’t require calcium to calcify and create skeleton structures like most other coral.  They do well in low nutrient tanks, but adapt to most conditions.    TIPS:  Here are some tips for caring for Zoas
