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. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without exposing it to excessive direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only after it has acclimated to the lighting and flow.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it grows. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread across nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Give it room to spread and monitor nearby coral placement over time.
