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 abrupt changes, then observe polyp response before adjusting placement.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Aim for enough movement to keep the colony clean without directing a constant, forceful stream at the polyps.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep spacing in mind as zoanthids are generally peaceful but can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room around the colony and monitor its expansion near neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal opening and response after placement, especially during lighting acclimation. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, fragging, or working near the colony.

Allow the colony time to settle before making further placement changes.
