Stitches Zoanthid Coral - Care Requirements

Stitches Zoanthid Coral is a zoanthid-type soft coral suited to lower and middle reef areas. This WYSIWYG Stitches Zoanthid Coral offers the practical care approach associated with zoanthids: gradual light acclimation, varied flow, and room to spread across its chosen rockwork.

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 to avoid sudden changes in light intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing water movement helps keep the colony clear without directing a harsh stream at it.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure it where it can receive suitable light and flow, then allow time to adjust.

Temperament

Plan for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but give the colony space and monitor nearby corals as it expands across surrounding rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Adjust placement gradually rather than making abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow room for growth and monitor its spread among neighboring corals.
