Blue Lagoon Zoas
Blue Lagoon Zoas are one of those corals with a little something hiding in plain sight. Their larger polyps have blue faces scattered with white and pink speckles around a radioactive green center, but when they’re really happy, something else starts showing up.
Tiny glitter-like flakes appear across the tentacles. A camera picks them up easily, but with the naked eye you’ll need to get close—and maybe borrow somebody younger’s eyesight.

We recommend starting the Blue Lagoon Zoas in the 100 - 200 PAR range.
Flow — Moderate
Moderate
Provide Moderate variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Zoas. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.
Placement — Island
Placement of your Blue Lagoon Zoas is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 100 - 200 PAR range it will need to be mounted Island on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Matting growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
