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 and acclimate it gradually to brighter conditions. Watch its response after placement and adjust only as needed rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle 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 location, allow time to adjust, and move it gradually if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Allow room for the colony to spread across its chosen surface. It is generally peaceful, but spacing helps prevent it from overtaking nearby corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for changes after acclimation. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, trimming, or working near the specimen.

A practical soft-coral choice for a carefully maintained reef display.
