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. Acclimate it gradually to the aquarium’s lighting, especially when moving it into a brighter lower or middle reef position.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant, forceful direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where it has space to expand, then make lighting adjustments gradually rather than moving it repeatedly.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread. Leave room around the colony and monitor its growth so it does not encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but consistent lighting, flow, and stable reef conditions remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation and after placement changes. Gradual lighting adjustment helps avoid stress. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when working in or around the aquarium.

Give it stable conditions, measured placement, and room to spread.
