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. Begin under gentler light and acclimate gradually before moving toward a brighter position within its recommended range.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Alternating 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 location that allows gradual lighting acclimation, then adjust placement based on how it responds.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it grows and spreads. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their spread can bring them into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which may be offered carefully without relying on feeding as a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony after placement or any change in lighting or flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, fragging, or maintaining the coral.
