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 introduction.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clean without continuously blasting or folding the polyps.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and flow, then adjust slowly if needed.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but zoanthids can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room for expansion and monitor neighboring corals as the colony establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but consistent reef conditions remain the primary care priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp behavior as the coral settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt environmental changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow time to settle before making further placement or lighting adjustments.
