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 gradually when introducing it to brighter areas to help the colony adjust.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water 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. Begin on a stable spot with suitable light and flow, then adjust placement gradually if needed.

Temperament

Keep it with room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand over nearby rockwork and may crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Make lighting changes gradually, keep surrounding surfaces clear for expansion, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow time for acclimation and monitor its placement as the colony expands.
