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. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions and observe polyp response before making further placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location, allow time for lighting acclimation, and adjust only if its response suggests a better position.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room around the colony and monitor its expansion so neighboring corals retain their space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so target feeding may be offered occasionally if desired without making it a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp extension and overall appearance during acclimation. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving or maintaining the coral.

A practical soft coral choice for a carefully planned reef layout.
