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 a gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to help the coral adjust to its position in the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant harsh stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and flow, then allow time to settle after introduction.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from areas where spreading could become an issue. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand over nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Adjust placement gradually rather than making sudden lighting or flow changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Give this zoanthid room to settle and monitor its spread over time.
