Species: Zoanthus spp.
Coral Type: Soft Coral / Colonial Polyp
WWC Lucky Kentucky Zoanthids are a vibrant designer zoanthid known for their rich contrast and energetic fluorescence. Each polyp typically displays a deep emerald to neon green center, often ringed with golden-yellow to warm amber tones and framed by darker skirts that enhance the layered “lucky charm” appearance. The combination of bold greens and warm highlights gives the colony a striking, high-visibility glow that stands out strongly in reef aquariums. As colonies spread, they form dense mats of tightly packed polyps that bring movement and intense color to rockwork. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, their fluorescence intensifies dramatically, producing a vivid, glowing display.
Coral Type: Soft Coral / Zoanthid
Lighting: Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 75–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect water movement promotes healthy polyp extension and helps prevent detritus buildup
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods such as Reef Roids or Benereef may enhance growth and coloration
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally reef-safe, though colonies can spread quickly and may overgrow nearby corals if not managed
Placement: Best placed on isolated rock islands or stable reef structures where colonies can expand freely under consistent lighting and flow conditions
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.
