Mr.Chili's Sustainability Alliance

Caring for the animals and ensuring they arrive healthy is our top priority.

Mr. Chili Sustainability Alliance

Our Commitment to Creating a Better Tomorrow

You Can Feel Good About Your Pets with the Mr. Chili Sustainability Alliance Seal

Our goal is to provide a full range of animals from exceptional partners that share in the mission. Aquarists should have the opportunity to obtain animals that are captive-bred or aquacultured, come from facilities that have best-in-class husbandry practices, and the animals are independent of wild populations. To solidify our commitment, 2% of the net proceeds of all animals purchased on Bulk Reef Supply will be donated to organizations that are dedicated to coral conservation, like The Florida Aquarium.

This is our commitment to help ensure the future of the aquarium hobby as well as build on the synergy between hobby aquatics and the natural reef environment. 

Mr. Chili Sustainability Alliance

All animals that receive the Badge of Certification:

1. Are Captive Bred and Raised:

  • We prioritize sourcing aquatic livestock that are captive-bred and/or raised in aquaculture facilities. These practices reduce the impact on wild populations, promote biodiversity, and support sustainable ecosystems.
  • We work exclusively with suppliers who adhere to high standards of captive breeding and coral aquaculture, ensuring that all aquatic animals are raised healthy and in acceptable conditions for animal well-being.

2. Are Healthy and Disease Free:

  • Ensure all animals undergo rigorous health checks before shipping to customers.
  • Partner with suppliers who follow strict biosecurity measures to prevent the spread of diseases.

3. Humane Treatment

  • Advocate for the humane treatment of all animals throughout their lifecycle.
  • Require suppliers to provide environments that meet the natural behavioral and physiological needs of the species.
  • Reject any practices that cause unnecessary stress, injury, or harm to animals.

4. Safe and Adequate Shipping:

  • Ensure that all shipping methods are safe and that the animals are shipped directly to you with exceptional care from our partners to minimize stress.
  • Use packaging materials that provide ample space and oxygen, sent by the fastest delivery methods available and only ship Monday through Thursday to minimize time in transit.
  • Work with shipping companies that have proven track records for handling live animals responsibly and humanely.

5. Supporting the Customers' Success with Support and Education:

  • Provide customers with accurate, comprehensive information on the care requirements of their new animals. This includes water quality, diet, tank mates, and habitat needs.
  • Offer ongoing support to customers, ensuring they have the resources and knowledge to maintain the health and well-being of their animals over the long term.
  • Ensure our customers are aware of acclimation best practices to ensure they best introduce their animals to their new environment.

6. You’re Part of Giving Back to Organizations Who Protect Aquatic Ecosystems With Us:

  • 2% of net proceeds of all animals purchased on Bulk Reef Supply will be donated to organizations that serve to protect and conserve coral conservation and other marine wildlife, like The Florida Aquarium.
  • Additionally, through a variety of programs, we proudly donate to these organizations throughout the year by providing them with the products they need to be successful in their research and restoration efforts and through monetary contributions.

Overview

Rainbow Hornet Zoanthids (Zoas) are a stunning blend of deep purple, neon yellow, and fiery orange that demand attention in any reef tank. Under actinic lighting, their vibrant colors intensify, giving your tank an electrifying look. The contrast of bold hues and clean patterns makes these Zoas an excellent choice for creating eye-catching clusters or filling gaps on your rockwork. Whether you’re looking to start a vibrant Zoanthid collection or just want a coral that stands out, Rainbow Hornets bring the perfect balance of color and simplicity to your reef.

Note: This is not a WYSIWYG listing. Photo is a representation of the shape, size, and color of the coral you will receive.

 

Water Parameters

This coral thrives in stable water conditions with regular water changes. Routine water testing helps ensure these needs are consistently met.

  • Specific Gravity (Salinity): 1.024-1.026
  • Temperature: 75-78 Degrees F
  • pH: 8.1-8.4
  • Alkalinity: 8-9dKH
  • Calcium: 380-450ppm
  • Magnesium: 1300-1450ppm
  • Nitrate (NO3): 10-30ppm
  • Phosphate: 0.01-0.1ppm
  • Nitrite (NO2): Undetectable
  • Ammonia (NH3): Undetectable

Lighting Requirements

Zoanthids usually do best in moderate lighting, around 150-250 PAR, however they can adapt to various light intensities. High light may enhance color vibrancy for certain varieties, but intense lighting can lead to bleaching in more light-sensitive Zoas.

For those with mixed reef tanks, a PAR meter is invaluable for fine-tuning light levels across different corals, helping ensure each coral gets the right intensity for its needs. This careful setup supports the coral’s vibrant color and long-term health.

Ideal Tank Placement

Place Zoas in mid-to-lower tank regions or shaded spots initially to gauge their light preference, moving them higher if needed. Experiment with locations in the tank where water flow is gentle but keeps the polyps open and free from debris. 

Water Flow Requirements

Zoanthids prefer a moderate, steady flow to keep detritus from accumulating on their polyps. Too much flow may cause them to close. If polyps remain closed, try adjusting their placement to slightly less intense light or different flow levels.

Aggressiveness and Compatibility

Give Zoanthids a little room to grow. Some types of Zoanthids grow faster than others and can quickly start encroaching on surrounding corals. 

Feeding and Nutrition

Primarily photosynthetic, Zoas can thrive on light alone, though occasional feedings with coral foods such as Reef Chili and Amino Acids like CoralAmino can enhance growth and coloration.

Growth Rate and Pattern

Zoanthids grow relatively quickly. If you don't want the zoanthids taking over your rockwork, try placing them on their own rock island to contain their growth to an area that's easy to keep at bay.

Acclimation Process

Acclimation is essential for corals to adjust to their new environment. For a full step-by-step process, refer to our Coral Acclimation Guide.

Mr. Chili Certified

You can have confidence that every effort has been taken to ensure they arrive alive, however despite our best care, sometimes the animals don’t make the journey. In the unfortunate event that your animals do not arrive alive, please contact us immediately (within 12 hours) of delivery and send a photo to us directly: customercare@bulkreefsupply.com. We will either reimburse you for the animal that did not make the trip or work with you on receiving another one.
