Phycosis Zoanthid Coral

Phycosis Zoanthid Coral - Care Requirements

Phycosis Zoanthid Coral is a zoanthid-type soft coral suited to beginner-to-moderate reef care. This WYSIWYG zoanthid coral offers a practical soft-coral option for reef tanks, including nano reef setups where its placement and spread can be monitored. Provide stable conditions and allow time for gradual light acclimation.

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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually before moving it toward brighter areas within its preferred range.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without concentrating harsh flow directly on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the frag room to settle, then adjust placement gradually if its response suggests it needs less or more exposure.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from neighboring corals as it can spread over nearby surfaces. It is generally peaceful, but planning its location helps maintain clear boundaries in the aquascape.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered selectively without making feeding a required part of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation and routine maintenance. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection, and avoid sudden changes to lighting, flow, or placement.

A measured acclimation and thoughtful spacing support long-term placement success.
