Just bought my first coral ever!

Congrats. You will always remember your first coral

.

Place it on the bottom where it get light, and when it's happy and open start finding final location, zoas generally need to be near the bottom of the tank

Hello reefers, just bought a nice zoa coral that I just acclimated and is already starting to open up! this is my first coral and if anyone has anything they think I should know please tell me also I'll send pictures as soon as it opens up all the way.
thank you

Very nice!! Such an exciting time to get your first coral! I’m sure you already know but handle with care and make sure you don’t have any cuts fiddling with the tank. Safety first! Happy reefing and can’t wait to see the next

It won’t be your last. Now you are hooked. Soon you will be saying this is my last coral for a while. I have this under control. But you don’t , you have been addicted to coral. We will be of no help, when you try and stop yourself.

anything else I should know?

Congratulations on your first coral, it appears that they are palythoas as you are new to the hobby reading about palytoxin is a must, handling this coral wrong can cause death as it’s highly poisonous wend disturbed/cut. I would recommend you to keep it in a separated rock as it’s fast growing and not to frag it. Other than that enjoy it
