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 when introducing it to brighter areas of the aquarium.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin on a stable surface with suitable light and flow, then adjust only after observing polyp response.

Temperament

Plan for room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Make lighting changes gradually, keep its placement secure, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow space for future spread and make adjustments gradually.
