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 the fixture and placement. Slow adjustment helps the colony settle without abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding a constant, forceful stream directed at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in a lower to middle reef area and allow time to adjust after introduction. Start with a stable spot, then make placement changes gradually if needed.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with future growth in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as the coral acclimates. Make lighting changes gradually, keep the surrounding area clear of encroachment, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow room for the colony to spread as it settles into the reef.
