Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid stressing the colony as it adjusts to your system.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant direct blast.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location, then adjust placement gradually only after observing how the colony responds.
Temperament
Expect a generally peaceful coral, but allow room for it to spread. Give the colony defined space and monitor nearby corals as the zoanthids establish.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary basis for routine care.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp behavior during acclimation. Make lighting changes gradually, keep placement consistent while it settles, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
Allow time for acclimation before making further placement or lighting adjustments.
