Common name: Zoanthids

Zoanthus is a genus of colonial cnidarians commonly known as Zoanthids. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their vibrant colors and ease of care. Zoanthids form mats on the substrate by connecting individual polyps with a fleshy stolon. They are photosynthetic, hosting symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae, which help them thrive in various lighting conditions. Zoanthids are known for their resilience and can adapt to a range of water conditions, making them suitable for beginners. They reproduce asexually through budding, allowing for rapid colony expansion.
