ASD Atmospheres Zoanthids
ASD Atmospheres Zoanthids are a rare treat that came as only a few polyps a few years ago from AquaSD. A small group of reefers were able to grow these out in California and they slowly started to trickle back into the hobby. Their beautiful pastel blue body is adorned with white speckles that look like small jewels.
Originator
AquaSD
Care Level
Best tried after you've had success with a few other easier corals first and have an understanding of basic reef chemistry such as keeping salinity, alkalinity, calicium, and magnesium levels consistent. The coral itself is very easy to care for if you test for your parameters often and have created a consistent maintanence routine for your reef!
Growth Rate
A moderate grower. Increased growth with feeding such as Benepets.
Lighting Placement
Prefers to be kept in lower to medium light.
Currently kept under Kessil A360X units. Mounting height 24" above water line. 12:00PM - 10:00PM at 100% blue intensity.
Flow Strength
We recommend starting smaller zoanthid frags in lower flow until it reaches a small colony size. Once established, increase the flow level to avoid any detritus building up in between the mat. If detritus builds up inside the matting of the zoanthid, it can cause bacterial issues.
Currently kept with Maxspect Gyre 350s Pumps.
Supplements
Brightwell's Amino Acids, Lugols, Replenish, Restor, Potassion, KoralColor.
