WWC Wildflower Zoanthids

WWC Wildflower Zoanthids

Species: Zoanthus spp.

Coral Type: Soft Coral / Colonial Polyp

WWC Wildflower Zoanthids are a colorful and eye-catching zoanthid prized for their vibrant mix of contrasting colors and distinctive polyp pattern. Each polyp can display a combination of rich, fluorescent hues that become especially vivid under blue-spectrum and actinic lighting. As the colony develops, the tightly packed polyps spread across the surrounding rockwork, creating a bright and dynamic display that adds both color 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 overall 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.
