Zoo Med Creatures Rock Dish Glow In The Dark
A rock-look dish that glows softly after dark. The Zoo Med Creatures Rock Dish (Glow In The Dark) is a naturalistic, shallow-sided food and water dish moulded in a light-blue glow compound that charges under your terrarium light during the day and glows softly overnight – handy for checking on nocturnal invertebrates without a torch.
Key features
- Glows in the dark – charges under regular terrarium lighting and glows softly once the lights go off.
- Natural rock-look finish – blends into naturalistic and bioactive invertebrate setups.
- Shallow, angled sides – sized for small invertebrates to reach food or water safely.
- Removable clear plastic liner – lifts out for quick rinsing or swapping contents.
- Dishwasher safe – the moulded body cleans easily between uses.
- Holds one Creature Food Jelly Cup – sized for a standard Zoo Med jelly cup.

Common questions
How do I get it to glow?
Charge it under your terrarium's daytime light for several hours – the longer and brighter the charge, the stronger and longer the glow once the light goes off.
How long does the glow last?
Zoo Med doesn't publish a glow duration for this dish, so we can't state a figure – expect it to fade gradually over the first part of the night, as is typical for glow-in-the-dark plastics.
Is it the same size as the standard Rock Dish?
It's built on the same rock-dish mould as Zoo Med's standard Creatures Rock Dish, so the footprint and capacity match – Zoo Med just doesn't publish separate dimensions for the glow colourway.
Can I use it for water as well as food?
Yes – like the standard dish, it works for either food or water; use the removable liner to keep the two separate if you run both in the same enclosure.
