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. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a system with brighter fixtures or a new placement.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without concentrating a constant, forceful stream directly on it.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with a suitable lower placement during acclimation, then adjust only if needed for its response.

Temperament

Expect a generally peaceful coral that can spread over nearby rockwork. Leave room for its expansion and plan its location so it does not overtake neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered as part of regular reef feeding if desired.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony after introduction or placement changes. Gradual light acclimation helps reduce stress. Handle zoanthids carefully and use appropriate eye and skin protection when working in the aquarium.
