Tutti Frutti Zoanthid - Close to WYSIWYG
ZOANTHID CARE:
Difficulty Level: Zoanthids, commonly known as "Zoas," are one of the more forgiving corals, making them suitable for those new to the marine aquarium hobby. Their adaptability to various lighting and flow conditions, coupled with their resilience to a range of water parameters, make them an excellent choice for beginners.
Ideal Parameters:
Temperature: between 72°F and 80°F.
Salinity: 1.026
pH: 7.8 -8.4
LOCATION:
Placement in Tank:
Zoanthids should be placed in areas with moderate lighting and water flow within the aquarium. Their placement should ideally allow them some space to spread.
Compatibility with Other Corals: Zoanthids are generally not aggressive corals and tend to cohabitate well with other varieties of Zoanthids. However, they can grow and spread, so it's important to ensure they have enough space and don't crowd out neighboring species in the aquarium.
LIGHTING:
Intensity: Zoanthids prefer moderate lighting conditions. While they are adaptable and can survive in various lighting scenarios, providing them with moderate to high-intensity lighting
Duration: 8 - 10 hours per day
WATER FLOW:
Flow Level: Zoanthids prefer moderate Flow conditions but can thrive under many flow conditions.
FEEDING:
Dietary Needs: Zoanthids primarily rely on photosynthesis due to their symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, tiny algae living within their tissues. However, they can benefit from direct feeding, which provides additional nutrients.
Recommended Foods: Zoanthids appreciate small, marine-based foods like zooplankton (rotifers and baby brine shrimp) and phytoplankton. Some aquarists also use brand-name coral foods available in the market that are suitable for soft corals.
Feeding Frequency: If choosing to directly feed, once to twice a week should suffice. It's important not to overfeed, as this can compromise water quality. Always monitor their response and adjust feeding frequency accordingly.

What Our Clients Say About Us
Just got my first order in. Came the next day. Packaging was perfectly done and better than many other coral dealers. Each was clearly ID'd in specimen jars with care instructions for each one individually. The prior day I hadn't specified a delivery date (which is a great feature) and they called me to verify. Absolutely flawless experience and I'll be back. Really reasonable prices on corals as well. Worth every penny.
100% recommended, I had doubts about buy corals on line, but I trusted in Riptide Aquaculture and I’m satisfied with my choice, excellent service, All corals arrived in good conditions, good colors, and good shape.
Excellent coral buying experience. All four corals arrived intact, each was packed in sufficient water and tripled bagged. Shipped from florida to california in 24 hrs. Communication was excellent and they adjusted delivery date per my request.
I just ordered 9 coral during Riptides recent reef2reef tiki sale. I requested they be delivered on a set day, but they realized that it may be too cold for shipping so they requested that it be moved out a week. The following week they shipped on time and the packaging was excellent. Heat pack inside the styrofoam box kept the coral warm in transit and each coral was triple bagged. They all were healthy and looked great when they arrived. One was kind of small, but I can’t really complain as it was only $5 during the sale. Overall I was very pleased with the entire process. I would highly recommend them.
Really fun buying during the Tiki Torch Sale! (That may be the wrong name 🤷). Regardless, the sale was a ton of fun and I got some really amazing pieces for a crazy good price. They had crazy $5 specials, just had to be fast enough. You could win three of them, and you have to buy three at discounted prices. Really awesome selection, got way more than three at the prices they had. Really great shipping, worked around my schedule. Due to weather delays, several orders came in today so I received about 35 pieces total. The packaging was really well done and getting these guys settled into the tank was a breeze. All of them are mostly out in just a couple of hours. So awesome! Not a single complaint for these guys! Will be back for the next sale.
I was super nervous about buying corals online, but Riptide blew me away with their service. The corals were triple bagged with identification labels with care instructions for each coral. They were also attached to tiny plastic cups to keep them from rolling around in the bag. The bags were placed in a styrofoam container inside the box. Everything looked great and so far they are looking quite happy in my tank. I would not hesitate to order from them again! I’m so happy that I met Mitch and Mason at Aqua Mania in Pittsboro, NC! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been as eager to order online. Great service and they are always available to answer questions. Thanks guys!
