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 during acclimation, then observe polyp response before making gradual placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Water movement should provide gentle circulation without continuously blasting the colony from one direction.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it grows and spreads. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their expansion can crowd nearby corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe polyp opening and surrounding corals after placement, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or frag work.

Give this zoanthid room to spread and monitor its placement over time.
