Coral Starter Pack: Setup Guide

What’s in Your Box?

• 2 Zoanthid frags (color may vary)

• 1 Mushroom coral

• 1 Green Star Polyp (GSP)

• 1 Firework Clove Polyp

• 1 Bag of clean saltwater

Step 1: Unbox and Prep

1. Open the box carefully and inspect each coral bag.

2. Make sure your aquarium is at proper temperature (74-80°) and running with light and flow.

Step 2: Add Saltwater

• Use the included bag of saltwater to add to your tank to ensure proper water parameters. Make sure to leave some room for extra water as you add the corals.

Step 3: Adding Your Corals

Your corals are already pre-dipped and ready to go:

1. Open each coral bag and gently pour the contents (part of the water and coral) into your tank. Try not to over-fill.

Coral Placement Tips:

Coral Type	Lighting	Flow	Placement Tip
Zoanthids	Moderate	Low-Medium	Mid-level rocks or substrate
Mushroom	Low-Moderate	Low	Bottom or shaded rock
Green Star Polyp	Moderate	Medium	Attach to back wall or island: grows quickly!
Clove Polyp	Moderate	Low-Medium	Mid-tank, gentle movement

Step 5: Basic Care for the First Week

• Lighting: Turn your LED on for 6–8 hour light cycles.

• Flow: Gentle movement is ideal; avoid blasting direct flow (You can adjust the slider on your pump if needed to turn up or down).

• No feeding needed: Corals get what they need from light and the water. You may add Benepets or other coral foods after they become established.

You’re All Set!

Your reef journey starts here. Keep an eye on your corals, and enjoy watching them open up and thrive!
