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, then acclimate gradually to avoid stressing the polyps during placement or lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without continuously blasting the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and flow, allowing time to adjust before moving it.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from corals you do not want it to overtake. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread across nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension after introduction or changes in placement. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, mounting, or maintaining the coral.

Allow room for the colony to spread as it settles into the reef.
