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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt light changes, then observe polyp response as the coral settles in.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without concentrating force directly on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust gradually only if its response indicates a different position is needed.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but allow room for the colony to spread. Plan its placement so expanding growth does not overtake nearby corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully when appropriate for the overall reef.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe the colony routinely for its response to placement and flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give this zoanthid room to spread and monitor it as the reef matures.
