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, then acclimate gradually to its intended intensity. A slow adjustment helps the colony settle without sudden changes in light exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding a constant force directly on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Start with appropriate light exposure and move only gradually if placement needs refinement.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for the colony to spread across nearby surfaces. Plan its location so expansion does not crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as the coral settles in. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

Give it stable conditions and space to expand at its own pace.
