This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter areas to help the colony adjust.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding a constant harsh stream directed at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where it can receive suitable light and flow, then adjust gradually if its response suggests a change is needed.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for spreading. Monitor nearby corals as the colony expands and maintain space so it does not grow into neighboring placements.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting and flow remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe its response after placement or adjustments. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine maintenance.

Allow time for acclimation and monitor placement as the colony settles in.
