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 sudden changes in light intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clear, while overly forceful direct flow is best avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow time for light acclimation and adjust placement gradually if conditions need refinement.

Temperament

Expect a generally peaceful coral that can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room around the colony and monitor its expansion near corals you want to keep separate.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep its surrounding area clear as it spreads, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give it stable conditions, gradual acclimation, and space to expand.
