They make a strong choice for reef keepers who want a colorful zoa frag with eye-catching patterning in a small footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagician Zoanthids grow as an encrusting, mat-forming colony and can gradually spread across nearby rockwork or frag surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Zoa frag is backed by our minimum frag size guarantee of at least 3 polyps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare Requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagician Zoanthids are generally adaptable and suitable for a wide range of established reef aquariums. Start new frags in lower to moderate light and moderate, indirect flow, then adjust placement gradually based on polyp extension, coloration, and overall response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most zoanthids, they do best with stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. For reef keepers looking to maintain consistent major elements, a balanced system such as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/products\/hydroshock-3-part-complete-system\"\u003eHydroshock 3-Part Complete System\u003c\/a\u003e can support long-term reef stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate, with gradual acclimation to stronger light if needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate, indirect flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lower to mid areas of the reef to start\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Form:\u003c\/strong\u003e Encrusting, mat-forming zoanthid colony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner to intermediate in a stable reef system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding \u0026amp; Nutrition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagician Zoanthids rely primarily on photosynthesis, but they can benefit from a nutrient-balanced reef environment and the availability of fine suspended foods. Heavy direct feeding is not required, and cleaner, consistent water quality is usually more important than aggressive feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn established systems, live plankton and microbial support can help maintain a more complete reef food web.

This is not unusual, especially for freshly moved frags.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid placing new zoanthid frags directly in intense light or harsh direct flow. Give the coral time to settle before making repeated placement changes, and keep enough room around the colony for future growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Arrival Guarantee\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour Magician Zoanthids frag will be packed carefully for transit and shipped with attention to seasonal conditions.
