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. Begin with a gentler position and acclimate lighting gradually before moving it higher only if needed.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the frag time to adjust after introduction, then make changes gradually rather than shifting it repeatedly.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for it to spread. Plan its location with neighboring corals in mind and monitor its expanding footprint.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as it acclimates. Avoid abrupt lighting or flow changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

A practical soft-coral choice for a thoughtfully planned reef layout.
