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 prevent abrupt changes. Observe polyp response and adjust placement slowly rather than moving it repeatedly.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without exposing it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to settle after introduction. Secure the frag where its growth can be monitored and managed.

Temperament

Keep room around the colony for future spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can expand onto nearby rockwork or encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully without relying on feeding as a required routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Watch for normal opening and expansion, and avoid unnecessary handling. When handling zoanthids, use appropriate eye and skin protection and work carefully.

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