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. Acclimate it gradually to its final intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter established reef.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only after it has acclimated to the aquarium’s lighting and flow.

Temperament

Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors, while allowing space for expansion. Zoanthids can spread across nearby rockwork, so plan their location with future coverage in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main priority for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Give this coral a stable spot and space to spread over time.
