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 gradually to avoid abrupt light changes, then observe polyp response as the coral settles into its placement.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting the polyps to constant direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a suitable lower area during acclimation, then adjust only if its response indicates a different position is needed.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their spreading habit can bring them into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without making supplemental feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to placement and flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when working in the aquarium.

Give this colony space to expand and monitor its placement over time.
