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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt changes in light intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Enough movement helps keep debris from settling while avoiding a constant harsh stream on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time to adjust after introduction, and make lighting changes gradually.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but plan for spreading. Leave room around the colony and monitor nearby corals as it establishes on surrounding rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without making target feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as the coral acclimates. Adjust placement only when needed, keep the area free of accumulated debris, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give it space to spread and make changes gradually.
