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. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, watching the colony’s response before moving it higher.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Aim for enough movement to keep the colony clear without directing a harsh, constant stream at it.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start on the lower reef during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually if needed.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its tendency to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it adjusts. Acclimate lighting gradually, and use appropriate eye and skin protection when handling zoanthids or working nearby.

Plan its rockwork location early to leave room for gradual spreading.
