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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt light changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing current helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to constant direct force.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and leave space for future spread.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Allow room between the colony and neighboring corals, and monitor its expansion over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered selectively while observing the coral’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension, placement, and nearby coral spacing regularly. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine tank work.

Give it steady conditions, gradual acclimation, and space to expand.
