WWC Viridian Zoanthids

WWC Viridian Zoanthids - Care Requirements

WWC Viridian Zoanthids are a zoanthid-type soft coral suited to low-to-moderate reef lighting. This WYSIWYG zoanthid frag offers the straightforward care approach associated with soft corals. It is suited to reef keepers seeking a coral for lower to middle areas with low to moderate lighting and varied water movement.

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 changes while allowing the colony to settle into its chosen location.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement is appropriate; avoid placing the frag where persistent direct flow may keep it from opening normally.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Secure the frag where it can remain undisturbed while you monitor its response to light and flow.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but plan for spreading as the colony establishes. Leave room around the frag and monitor nearby corals so expansion does not crowd their placement.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation and afterward. Make lighting changes gradually, watch for changes in opening or placement response, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give it stable conditions, gradual acclimation, and room to spread.
