Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the frag into a brighter reef setup.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Aim for gentle, changing water movement rather than a constant direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only after observing its response to light and flow.

Temperament

Expect a generally peaceful coral that can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room around the frag and monitor its expansion near neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main care priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly as it settles in. Make changes gradually, including light adjustments, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Allow time to settle before making further placement adjustments.
