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 gradually when moving it into brighter areas to avoid abrupt light changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear of settled debris without directing harsh flow straight at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and flow, then allow time to adjust before relocating.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby rockwork. Leave room for expansion and monitor its boundaries around slower-growing neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and suitable lighting remain the primary daily-care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension, color, and surrounding space regularly. Acclimate lighting gradually after placement or changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Give it stable conditions, measured placement, and room to spread.
