Its care needs align with a beginner-to-moderate approach when stable conditions and thoughtful placement are maintained.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, watching the colony’s response before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Enough movement helps keep debris from settling, while overly forceful direct flow may keep the polyps from opening normally.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and varied flow, then allow time to adjust before relocating it.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around the colony because zoanthids are generally peaceful but can spread. Plan its location with nearby corals in mind and trim or manage expansion as needed.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for changes in polyp opening or debris buildup. Acclimate lighting gradually after introduction or relocation. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, placement, or maintenance.

Give the colony time to settle before making further placement changes.
