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. Acclimate it gradually to your lighting schedule, especially when moving it into a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear without concentrating water movement directly on it.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust placement gradually if its response suggests it needs different light or flow.

Temperament

Generally peaceful, zoanthids can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room for the colony to expand and plan neighboring coral placement so its growth remains manageable.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally as part of normal reef feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

Allow time for acclimation before making further placement changes.
