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 lighting gradually, especially when introducing the coral to a brighter reef system.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with a secure position and allow time to adjust before changing placement.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its ability to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but plan nearby coral placement so an expanding colony has room.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Make adjustments gradually rather than all at once, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or relocation.

Allow room for growth and monitor surrounding corals over time.
