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 to help the colony adjust without abrupt changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without directing a harsh constant stream at it.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location, then adjust placement gradually if needed after acclimation.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread. Leave room around the colony and monitor its expansion so it does not overtake nearby corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered as part of a regular reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Make changes gradually, especially with lighting and placement. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during mounting, moving, or maintenance.

Allow space for spread and make adjustments slowly as the colony settles.
