Goblins on Fire Zoas
Goblins on Fire have a little Ohio history behind them. They were originated by Larry, better known as Zeppelin, an early zoa collector from Pickerington, Ohio who was active in the hobby back when named zoas were just starting to take off.
They have incredibly bright green centers, a blue ring, and fiery red-orange tentacles that light up under blues. Maybe we’re a little biased being from Ohio too, but Zeppelin found himself a good one with these.

We recommend starting the Goblins on Fire 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 Goblins on Fire 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.
