Species: Zoanthus spp.
Coral Type: Soft Coral / Colonial Polyp
WWC Tic Tac Zoanthids are a compact, high-contrast designer zoanthid known for their crisp coloration and “candy-like” appearance. Each polyp typically features a bright, clean center—often white, mint green, or soft neon yellow—surrounded by sharply defined rings of contrasting color such as teal, orange, or purple, with darker skirts that frame the design. The result is a neat, button-like colony that resembles tiny, glowing mints arranged across the rockwork.
As colonies grow, they form tight, uniform mats that add structured color and subtle movement to reef aquariums. Under actinic or blue-spectrum lighting, their fluorescent tones become especially vivid, giving the colony a bright, polished glow.
Coral Type: Soft Coral / Zoanthid
Lighting: Moderate (approximately 75–150 PAR)
Flow Rate: Low to Moderate; gentle, indirect water movement encourages 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 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.
