Add a distinctive zoanthid variety to your reef with ACI Cultured Mohawk Zoanthids. Known for their bold pattern, contrasting coloration, and eye-catching appearance under reef lighting, Mohawks make an excellent addition to mixed reefs and dedicated zoanthid gardens. This variety is aquacultured by ACI, providing reef keepers with a cultured coral that has been propagated specifically for the aquarium hobby. As the frag becomes established, new polyps can spread across nearby rockwork and develop into a larger, colorful colony. This listing is for one Small ACI Cultured Mohawk Zoanthid frag. Quick Care Guide Common Name: Mohawk Zoanthids Coral Type: Zoanthid / Soft Coral Size: Small Aquacultured: Yes – ACI Cultured Care Level: Beginner Temperament: Semi-Aggressive Lighting: Low to Moderate Water Flow: Low to Moderate Placement: Lower to Middle Areas Growth Rate: Moderate to Fast under favorable conditions Reef Compatible: Yes, with proper placement Placement & Growth ACI Cultured Mohawk Zoanthids can be placed on stable rockwork where they receive appropriate lighting and water movement. Once established, Zoanthids can spread across surrounding surfaces and gradually form larger colonies. For easier growth management, consider placing the frag on an isolated rock or within a dedicated zoanthid garden. Leave adequate space between the colony and neighboring corals as it grows. Lighting & Water Flow Provide low to moderate reef lighting with low to moderate water movement. Flow should help prevent debris from accumulating around the polyps without continuously blasting the colony. When introducing the coral to stronger reef lighting, gradual acclimation is recommended. Feeding & Nutrition Mohawk Zoanthids receive much of their nutritional needs through photosynthesis and generally do not require direct target 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 coloration and continued growth. 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. Size & Live Coral Notice You will receive one Small ACI Cultured Mohawk Zoanthid frag.
