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, then acclimate gradually while observing polyp response before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clear of debris, while overly forceful direct flow may keep polyps from opening normally.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and varied flow, then allow time to adjust before repositioning.

Temperament

Keep room for spread as the colony establishes. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but avoid placing them where expansion can overtake neighboring corals or where nearby corals can shade them.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and monitor polyp opening, debris buildup, and nearby coral growth. Acclimate lighting gradually after introduction or relocation. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Observe placement over time and adjust only when the colony indicates a need.
