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 final intensity. Slow adjustment helps avoid abrupt light stress and lets the colony settle into its preferred exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow that keeps water moving around the polyps without blasting them directly. Observe polyp extension and adjust circulation if flow appears excessive.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to acclimate after introduction. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and gentle, changing water movement.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it grows, even though zoanthids are generally peaceful. It can spread across nearby rockwork, so placement should account for its potential coverage.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Watch the colony’s response to placement, flow, and light over time rather than changing several factors at once. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give this colony room to spread and make adjustments gradually.
