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. Acclimate it gradually to your lighting schedule, especially when moving it into a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without concentrating harsh current directly on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and allow time to adjust before considering any move higher in the aquascape.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for the colony to spread. Plan its location carefully so expansion does not crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the polyps as they settle in. Gradually acclimate lighting, keep the colony securely placed, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give it stable conditions, suitable space, and time to settle into the reef.
