WWC Space Queen Zoanthids

WWC Space Queen Zoanthids

Species: Zoanthus spp.

Coral Type: Soft Coral / Colonial Polyp

WWC Space Queen Zoanthids are a vibrant and eye-catching zoanthid prized for their bold coloration and intense fluorescent appearance. Each polyp displays a striking combination of contrasting colors that become especially vivid under blue-spectrum and actinic lighting, creating a glowing, almost otherworldly appearance across the colony. As the polyps multiply, they form colorful mats across surrounding rockwork, adding a dynamic combination of color, movement, and texture to the reef aquarium.

Coral Type: Soft Coral / Zoanthid
Lighting: Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 75–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect water movement helps keep debris from settling while encouraging healthy polyp extension
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic through symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional feedings of fine particulate coral foods such as Reef Roids or Benereef may support growth and enhanced coloration
Aggression: Peaceful to Semi-Aggressive; generally reef-safe, though zoanthids can spread quickly and may overgrow neighboring corals if not managed
Placement: Best placed on isolated rock islands or stable reef structures where the colony has room to expand and can receive consistent lighting and gentle, indirect flow

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 cross-contamination between systems, meaning all of our livestock are carefully quarantined and prepared for your display tank.
