WWC Burning Mans Zoanthid
Species: Zoanthus spp.
Coral Type: Zoanthus
Burning Man’s Zoanthids are a vibrant and eye-catching zoanthid variety known for their fiery coloration and strong fluorescence under reef lighting. Individual polyps typically feature a bright orange to red oral disc with a glowing yellow or green center, often surrounded by a darker ring that enhances the contrast. The skirt of short tentacles may appear orange, reddish, or green depending on lighting conditions. Like most zoanthids, they grow from a thin, mat-like tissue that spreads across rock surfaces, gradually forming dense colonies that add intense color and movement to reef aquariums.
Coral Type: Zoanthus
Lighting: Low to Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 50–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional broadcast feeding with fine coral foods such as ReefRoids or Benereef may encourage faster colony growth and polyp multiplication
Aggression: Low toward neighboring corals, though colonies can spread across nearby rockwork if not managed
Substrate: Best placed on rockwork or frag racks where the colony can encrust and expand naturally
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.
