Color & Appearance

Bob Marley Zoanthids are prized for their colorful, patterned polyps and striking contrast under reef lighting.

As with all live coral, coloration can vary depending on lighting spectrum, intensity, water chemistry, nutrients, and the individual frag.

As the colony becomes established, additional polyps can develop and spread across nearby surfaces.

Placement & Growth

Place Bob Marley Zoanthids on stable rockwork where they receive appropriate lighting and water movement.

Because Zoanthids can spread as they grow, an isolated rock or dedicated zoanthid garden can make it easier to manage the colony while creating a colorful display.

Leave adequate room between the colony and neighboring corals for future growth.

Lighting & Water Flow

Provide low to moderate reef lighting with low to moderate water movement.

Flow should help prevent debris from accumulating around the colony while allowing the polyps to remain comfortably extended.

Gradually acclimate the coral when introducing it to stronger reef lighting.

Feeding & Nutrition

Bob Marley Zoanthids receive much of their nutritional needs through photosynthesis and generally do not require direct feeding.

They may benefit from nutrients and appropriately sized suspended foods available within a healthy reef aquarium.

Maintaining stable water chemistry and appropriate nutrient levels can help support healthy growth and coloration.

Recommended Water Parameters

Temperature: 75–80°F
Specific Gravity: 1.023–1.026
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH

Stable reef conditions are more important than targeting one exact value within each range.

Zoanthid Handling Safety

Zoanthids should be handled carefully. Some Zoanthids may contain palytoxin, a potentially dangerous toxin.

Wear gloves and eye protection when handling, cutting, or fragging Zoanthids, and wash your hands thoroughly afterward.

Never boil, steam, microwave, or otherwise heat rock containing Zoanthids. Keep corals and fragging materials away from children and pets.
