Species: Zoanthus spp.
Coral Type: Soft Coral / Colonial Polyp
WWC Mystic Moon Zoanthids are an elegant, high-contrast designer zoanthid known for their cool-toned coloration and ethereal glow. Each polyp typically features a luminous pale blue to icy white center, often encircled by soft lavender, violet, or silvery rings with darker skirts that enhance the “moonlit” effect. The overall appearance is calm yet striking, giving the colony a shimmering, celestial look as it spreads across rockwork. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, their fluorescent pigments become especially pronounced, creating a glowing, moon-like field of color that stands out beautifully in reef aquariums.
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 accumulation
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.
