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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid stressing the colony during placement changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Enough movement helps keep debris from settling while allowing the polyps to extend naturally.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then allow time to adjust.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with future growth in mind. Zoanthid-type soft corals are generally peaceful, but this colony can spread onto nearby rockwork or crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension after introduction or changes in placement. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt environmental shifts, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give the colony room to spread and monitor its placement over time.
