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 gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions, and observe polyp response before changing placement.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to constant direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust only gradually as it settles into the aquarium.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby rockwork. Leave room around the colony and plan its location so expansion does not crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so target feeding can be offered if desired without making it a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Watch for consistent polyp extension and keep the surrounding area clear. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

A practical soft coral choice for thoughtfully planned reef rockwork.
