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. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt changes, then observe polyp response and adjust placement only as needed.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and allow time for light acclimation before moving it.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for the colony to spread. Plan its placement so expanding polyps do not crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate placement remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal polyp extension after acclimation. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Give this zoanthid room to spread and time to settle in.
