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 lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without concentrating a harsh stream directly on it.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a suitable lower placement during acclimation, then adjust only if observation suggests a change is needed.

Temperament

Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors, while allowing room for it to spread. Monitor its footprint over time and avoid placing it where expansion could crowd nearby corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for its response to light, flow, and placement. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving or working around the coral.

Allow space for gradual spread and make changes slowly.
