Aha ! Face-locked !!
Is there significant tidal stirring, or has that mostly worn off ?
I'm working on 'Erewhon', hypothetical face-locked mega-moon of real tau Ceti 'f', a sub-neptunian. It's on the cooler edge of habitable zone, so volcanic activity, hot springs etc are important...

No - Koleo does not experience significant effects from tidal locking.
Oooh, Tau Ceti f I hear? Interesting, interesting. Yeah tau ceti f is definitely chilly, i would prefer a tidally squeezed moon (:
Good luck on designing the moon!
Also I have updated Koleo to make it look more realistic here: Koleo v2 Nearside
