WWC Yellow Brick Road Zoanthids

WWC Yellow Brick Road Zoanthids

Species: Zoanthus spp.

Coral Type: Soft Coral / Colonial Polyp

WWC Yellow Brick Road Zoanthids are a vibrant and eye-catching zoanthid prized for their bright yellow coloration and distinctive contrasting polyp structure. Each polyp features a vivid yellow to golden coloration that becomes especially striking under blue-spectrum and actinic lighting, creating a glowing appearance across the colony. As the colony develops, these tightly packed polyps form colorful mats across rockwork, adding bold color and movement 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 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.
