  Special Requirements and Information:
While Zo's are a very simple marine form, they can be very toxic. To be on the safe side, they should be handled with gloves and care made to avoid contact with mouth or eyes. They also will sometimes squirt when handled. Since they don't require bright light, they can be placed in shadows. However, high lighting can produce spectacular color results.
Feed anytime during the day. Make sure that you use phytoplankton on a regular basis. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid. Place the defrosted food directly over the polyps. The polyps will multiply at a rapid rate, given the right tank parameters and may need to be pruned to avoid a takeover.
