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 adjusting placement or introducing the coral to brighter reef lighting.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without exposing it to a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and flow, then allow time to adjust before making changes.

Temperament

Keep space available for expansion. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread over nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without relying on feeding as a required part of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Adjust lighting gradually rather than abruptly, and use appropriate eye and skin protection when handling zoanthids or working near the frag.

Give this zoanthid room to spread and monitor neighboring coral placement.
