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 abrupt light changes, then observe the colony’s response before adjusting placement.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then allow time to settle after introduction.

Temperament

Keep it with room to expand. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can spread across nearby rockwork and may eventually occupy space intended for neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary care considerations.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal opening and response after acclimation, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.
