Mary Jane Zoa (4+ polyps)
Mary Jane is one of the true old-school classics in the zoa hobby — alongside names like Rasta and Eagle Eye, it’s one of the morphs most reef keepers will recognise on sight. This one carries a purple base plate, a bright orange centre, and blue tentacles, giving it a cool-and-warm contrast that stands out well against greener or more muted neighbours in a zoa garden.
Like most zoas, it settles in and spreads steadily once happy, budding outward to build a colony over time.
Care basics
- Lighting: Low to moderate. Tolerates a wide range of lighting.
- Flow: Low to moderate. Keeps polyps extended and healthy without being battered.
- Water chemistry: Stable calcium, alkalinity and magnesium matter more than chasing exact numbers.
- Feeding: Not required, but occasional fine-particle feeding can help growth and colour.
- Handling: Contains palytoxin, as all zoanthids do. Never handle out of water, and wear gloves when fragging.
Supplied as 4+ zoas on a plug.
