Blue Eyed Blonde Zoanthid Coral (BEBB)
Available for local pickup only
The Blue Eyed Blonde is a designer zoa morph prized for its eye-catching contrast and vibrant colors. Typically, this zoa features a bright blue or icy blue center, surrounded by a blonde or golden skirt and sometimes a striking contrasting ring.
Under reef LEDs — especially with heavy actinic blues — the “blue eye” center really pops, adding amazing contrast to Zoa gardens and frag racks. Its unusual palette makes it stand out next to more common reds, oranges, and greens.

✅ Hardy and quick to spread under stable conditions.
✅ Easy to frag and trade with other hobbyists.
✅ Reef Safety & Behavior
✔️ 100% reef safe — peaceful and non-aggressive.

✅ Care Level
-
Difficulty: Easy to moderate — generally hardy but wants stable water parameters for best color.
-
Placement: Low to mid-level in the tank — moderate light and moderate flow are ideal for polyp extension and keeping detritus off the colony.
-
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic — occasional target feeding with coral foods or aminos can encourage faster growth and more vivid coloration.
Water Conditions
-
Temperature: 72–78°F
-
Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
-
pH: 8.1–8.4
-
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
-
Keep nitrate and phosphate detectable but low — Zoas thrive with stable, “nutrient-light” water.
Tank Mates
✅ Perfect with other peaceful Zoas, softies, LPS, SPS, reef-safe fish, and inverts.
✅ Looks amazing in multi-colored Zoa gardens or frag islands.
❌ Inspect new frags for pests like nudibranchs or zoa-eating snails. Dip and quarantine if needed.
Fun Fact
