Rasta Zoa

The Rastas are very bright and incredibly beautiful. With their color combination, these are definitely show-quality coral.

Zoanthids are colonial soft corals found in tropical and sub tropical reefs. Zoanthids are photosynthetic, meaning they house symbiotic zooxanthelitic algae which produces much of their nutrition.

Proper Acclimation

Proper acclimation is essential for ensuring a smooth transition for Zoanthids into your reef system. These corals can experience stress from shipping or environmental changes, so following these steps will help them settle in successfully:

• Temperature Acclimation: Float the bag in your aquarium for 15-20 minutes to equalize temperature.
• Drip Acclimation (Optional): While not required, drip acclimation can be a good precautionary measure to gradually introduce your tank water to the coral. However, keep in mind that Zoanthids may not adapt to the system as quickly with this method.
• Lighting Acclimation: Place the Zoanthid colony in a lower-light area of the tank or reduce your light intensity initially. Gradually increase lighting over the next 2-3 weeks to avoid bleaching.
• Placement: Mount the coral securely using glue or epoxy on rockwork or a ledge with moderate, indirect water flow. Monitor its behavior and coloration during the adjustment period.
