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 it gradually to your aquarium lighting, then watch for its response before making further placement adjustments.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable mounting location and allow time for light acclimation before moving it higher.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered selectively as part of normal reef maintenance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for its response to light, flow, and placement. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving or maintaining the coral.

Give this zoanthid space to establish in a stable reef setting.
