Species: Zoanthus spp.
Coral Type: Soft Coral / Colonial Polyp
WWC Scrambled Eggs Zoanthids are a fan-favorite designer zoanthid known for their bright, “breakfast-inspired” coloration and strong fluorescent glow. Each polyp typically features a sunny yellow to golden center resembling a yolk, surrounded by creamy white to pale outer rings and subtle contrasting skirts that give the colony its distinctive scrambled-egg appearance. The clean, high-contrast palette makes them especially eye-catching in reef aquariums, where they form dense, spreading mats of uniform polyps. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, their fluorescent yellows intensify, producing a bright, glowing effect that stands out even in heavily stocked zoa gardens.
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 support enhanced growth and coloration
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally reef-safe, though colonies can spread rapidly 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.
