Species: Zoanthus sp.
Coral Type: Zoanthus
Physical Description: Wave Runner Zoanthids are dynamic, high-energy button polyps known for their flowing, multi-toned coloration that resembles motion through water. Each polyp typically features a vibrant blend of electric blues, neon greens, and golden or orange highlights that appear to “ripple” outward from the center. The skirts often carry contrasting darker tones that enhance the sense of depth and movement, giving the colony a fluid, wave-like visual effect even when stationary. Under actinic and blue-spectrum lighting, the fluorescent pigments intensify dramatically, producing a glowing, shifting appearance that makes this morph especially eye-catching in mixed reef displays. As the colony grows, it spreads across rockwork and frag plugs, forming dense, undulating mats of color.
Coral Type: Zoanthus
Lighting: Moderate (approximately 80–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate with gentle, indirect flow
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic but may benefit from occasional broadcast feeding of fine particulate foods such as reef roids or phytoplankton
Aggression: Low; generally peaceful and well-suited for mixed reef aquariums
Substrate: Best placed on rockwork, frag plugs, or isolated zoanthid garden areas where it can expand freely
We maintain a rigorous, veterinarian-approved quarantine program that includes proactive treatments, careful observation, and daily monitoring to ensure the highest standards of coral and invertebrate health. Our biosecurity practices reduce the risk of any cross-contamination between systems, meaning all our livestock are ready for your display tanks.
