GB Tiger Hornets Zoanthids
Orange tiger striped rings on a blue body. The tips of skirts are adorned with a metallic golden yellow coloration, giving it a nice pop under blue lights.
These Zoanthids were originally maricultured pieces imported on small tiles from Taiwan many years ago, so multiple different vendors were able to acquire these and grow them. As such, these Zoanthids also goes by a few other names in the hobby, depending which vendor it comes from. The hobby hasn't settled down on which name is more well known, so for the time being they are sold with multiple names.
- Jason Fox Corals: "Powerhouses"
- World Wide Corals: "Dragon Ball Z"

Care Level
Great beginner coral! Does not consume elements such as alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium readily. A great choice if you're looking to keep a low maintenance reef or are just getting into the hobby and haven't built a strong understanding of the hobby yet.
Growth Rate
A great 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.
