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 and observe the coral’s response before making further placement or intensity changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable position, then adjust gradually only if its response suggests a different location is needed.

Temperament

Keep it where its spread can be managed. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand onto nearby rockwork and may crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully as part of an established reef feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to light, flow, and nearby growth. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

A straightforward soft-coral choice for a thoughtfully maintained reef aquarium.
