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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter aquarium position, and observe its response before making further changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Start with a suitable lower position during acclimation, then adjust gradually only if needed for its response.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch the colony after placement or adjustments to lighting and flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give this zoanthid space to spread and keep conditions consistent.
