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. Acclimate it gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should be sufficient to keep the colony clean without constantly blasting the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust gradually only if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Keep it with adequate room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but a growing colony can occupy nearby rockwork and encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, watch surrounding space as it spreads, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give this colony stable conditions and space to establish on its rockwork.
