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 tank’s lighting, especially when moving it into a brighter reef system.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to constant harsh current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and adjust gradually only if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Give it room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand onto nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony after placement or changes in lighting and flow. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully using appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or frag work.

Allow space for growth and make adjustments gradually as the colony settles in.
