Grand Master Krakatoa Zoas
Grand Master Krakatoa sits at the top of an ever-growing Krakatoa coral family. At this point, there are enough Krakatoa strains that one had to be put in charge. Apparently that job went to the Grand Master.
GMK’s are gold, orange, red and yellows and have become one of the most recognizable members of the Krakatoa coral family.
One note worthy farming tip. -we have found that GMK’s like less light then most Zoas. Week keep them around 75 Par. If given to much light they can shrink up, combine that with to low of nitrates; they may stop photosynthesis and dissolve away

We recommend starting the Grand Master Krakatoa Zoas in the 50 - 125 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 Grand Master Krakatoa 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 50 - 125 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.
