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 to avoid abrupt light changes, then observe polyp response before adjusting placement.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Enough movement helps keep debris from settling around the colony, while overly forceful direct flow should be avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then allow time to adjust after introduction.

Temperament

Plan for room to spread over time. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can bring them into contact with neighboring corals if placement is not managed.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered selectively while avoiding excess nutrients or leftover food.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal extension and keep the surrounding area clear of accumulating debris. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or frag work.

Give it stable conditions and space to expand across its chosen area.
