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, then acclimate gradually to its final intensity. A slower adjustment helps the colony settle while allowing you to observe its response.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow rather than a constant direct stream. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without placing excessive force on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to acclimate after introduction. Start in a suitable lower-light position, then adjust only if its response indicates a need.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for the colony to spread across nearby rockwork. Plan its position with neighboring corals in mind so expansion remains easy to manage.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. If offering food, use a light approach and observe the colony’s response rather than forcing frequent feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp response after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement. Handle zoanthids carefully and use appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or other close contact.

Give it stable conditions and room to establish before making further changes.
