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

Use low to moderate lighting, then acclimate gradually to avoid sudden changes. Observe polyp response and adjust placement only as needed.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow that keeps the colony clear without constant direct force. Gentle, changing movement is preferable to a fixed blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to settle after introduction. Start with gentler light exposure, then acclimate slowly.

Temperament

Plan for spread over nearby rockwork. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but leave room between the colony and corals you do not want it to overtake.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal polyp extension after acclimation. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give the colony space, stable conditions, and time to acclimate.
