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 lighting gradually, watching the colony’s response before moving it into brighter conditions.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Aim for enough movement to keep the colony clear without concentrating a harsh stream directly on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually if the coral responds well.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork and may compete for available space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without making target feeding a required part of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation and routine maintenance. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, fragging, or working near the coral.

Allow space for growth and make placement changes gradually.
