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 sudden light stress, then observe polyp response before making placement adjustments.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust gradually only if its response indicates a different location is appropriate.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork, so leave space around corals you do not want it to overgrow.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp opening and overall response after adjustments to lighting or flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, fragging, or maintenance.

Acclimate patiently and give the colony room to spread.
