From the Seahorse Aquarium Supply Farm. ✨ King Midas Zoanthids — Iconic Gold Glow, Fast Growth, Brilliant Color King Midas Zoanthids are one of the most recognizable and sought‑after zoa morphs in the hobby. Their intense, metallic gold centers and shimmering skirts create a radiant, jewel‑like appearance that stands out in any lighting. Hardy, adaptable, and fast‑growing, they’re a perfect choice for both beginners and collectors looking to add high‑impact color to their reef. 🎨 Color & Appearance King Midas typically display: • Brilliant metallic gold center — their signature feature • Soft yellow to golden outer ring that enhances the glow • Shimmering gold skirt with long, delicate lashes • Extremely strong fluorescence under 420–460 nm LEDs • High saturation that holds well across a wide PAR range They’re one of the few zoas that look just as bright in daylight as they do under blues. 🧬 Care & Hardiness King Midas Zoanthids are easy and very forgiving, making them ideal for mixed reefs. They thrive in: • Moderate PAR (80–150) • Blue‑heavy spectrum for maximum metallic glow • Low to moderate flow to keep polyps clean and extended They’re known for opening quickly, shipping well, and adapting to a wide range of conditions. 🪸 Growth & Placement • Fast growth rate once established • Ideal for zoa gardens, frag racks, or mid‑level rockwork • Excellent contrast piece next to blues, purples, and reds • Works well on isolated islands to manage spread Their long, golden skirts create a flowing, radiant colony that draws the eye. 🐠 Behavior & Compatibility • Peaceful and reef‑safe • Won’t sting neighbors • Compatible with all typical reef fish • As with all zoas, handle with care due to potential palytoxin exposure
