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

Use low to moderate lighting, then acclimate gradually to the intended intensity. Slow adjustment helps the colony settle without abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear of buildup without continually blasting the polyps from one direction.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time for lighting acclimation. Secure the frag where its future spread can be managed.

Temperament

Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors, but leave room around the colony. Zoanthids can spread across nearby rockwork and may eventually compete for available space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally if desired without relying on feeding as a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it adjusts after introduction. Gradual lighting acclimation supports a smoother transition, while careful handling with appropriate eye and skin protection is recommended during placement or maintenance.

Plan its placement thoughtfully so its spread remains easy to manage.
