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, and acclimate gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions. Observe its response after placement and adjust only as needed.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Choose a location with space for the colony to expand across nearby surfaces.

Temperament

Plan for spreading even though zoanthids are generally peaceful. Give the colony room and monitor nearby corals so its growth does not gradually overtake their placement area.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without making supplemental feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Check the colony regularly for its response to placement, flow, and nearby growth. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Allow space for growth and make changes gradually for reliable long-term care.
