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 lighting gradually, watching the colony’s response before changing placement.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust only if its response indicates a change is needed.

Temperament

Keep it with room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully as part of normal reef feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for its response to light, flow, and nearby growth. Acclimate changes gradually. Handle zoanthids carefully and use appropriate eye and skin protection when working in the aquarium.
