Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid sudden changes in light intensity.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. Enough movement helps keep debris from settling while allowing the polyps to remain comfortably open.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where its spreading habit can be monitored, then adjust placement slowly during light acclimation.
Temperament
It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room around the colony and monitor neighboring corals as it expands.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but consistent reef conditions remain the main priority.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension and surrounding space regularly. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.
A straightforward soft coral option for a carefully maintained reef aquarium.
