Pink Elephant Zoas, also known as "Zoanthus sp.," are enchantingly named members of the immensely popular zoanthid family. This diverse family boasts a plethora of color variations, making them an excellent choice for beginners in the coral-keeping hobby.
Cultivated under LED lights, fragments (frags) of these corals have thrived, exhibiting both robust growth and vibrant coloration. Sporting a soft coral composition, Pink Elephant Zoas feature a light green disk complemented by a captivating pink mouth and lashes.
These corals are adaptable to lower lighting conditions, making them suitable for a range of aquarium setups. To ensure optimal health, moderate water flow is recommended, as it prevents detritus from settling on their delicate structures.
Maintaining proper levels of Calcium, Alkalinity, Magnesium, and other essential trace elements found in natural seawater is crucial for the well-being of Pink Elephant Zoas. Fortunately, additional feeding is generally unnecessary, as these corals derive the majority of their nutrition through photosynthesis.
Feeding preferences among Zoas can vary, with some types displaying a strong response to additional foods, while others may show minimal interest.
