Common name: Zoanthids

Zoanthids, or Zoas, are a family of colonial cnidarians that are highly popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their vibrant colors and ease of care. They form mat-like colonies with individual polyps connected by a fleshy stolon. Zoanthids are known for their stunning array of colors and patterns, which can add a dramatic splash of color to any reef aquarium. They are relatively hardy and can thrive in a range of lighting conditions, although moderate lighting and water flow are ideal. Zoanthids contain palytoxin, a potent toxin, so handling them with care is essential. They can reproduce asexually through budding, making them a favorite among hobbyists for propagation.
