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 and acclimate lighting gradually, observing the colony as it adjusts to its position.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without directing a constant force at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location during acclimation, then adjust placement only as needed.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but allow room for spreading. Plan placement with nearby corals in mind so the colony has space to expand over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal opening and response after placement or lighting adjustments. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine maintenance.

Give this zoanthid room to spread and time to settle in.
