WWC Sweet Tooth Zoanthid

WWC Sweet Tooth Zoanthid

Species: Zoanthus spp.

Coral Type: Soft Coral / Colonial Polyp

WWC Sweet Tooth Zoanthids are a vibrant designer zoanthid prized for their sugary-bright coloration and strong fluorescent pop. Each polyp typically features a luminous blend of neon greens and yellows in the center, often surrounded by warm orange to pink rings and contrasted with darker skirts that frame the design. The overall effect is a “sweet,” candy-like appearance that stands out strongly in mixed reef displays. As colonies grow, they form dense, colorful mats that add movement and a saturated burst of color across rockwork. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, their fluorescence intensifies significantly, giving the colony a glowing, high-energy presence.

Coral Type: Soft Coral / Zoanthid
Lighting: Moderate lighting requirements (approximately 75–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect flow 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 may spread quickly and can 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.
