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 gradually to avoid abrupt light changes, then observe polyp response and adjust placement only as needed.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position, allow time to settle after acclimation, and move it gradually if lighting needs adjustment.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it spreads. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can encroach on nearby corals if placement is not planned.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so offer small amounts if desired and monitor the response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension, placement, and nearby coral spacing over time. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Plan its placement with future spread in mind and acclimate patiently.
