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 to avoid abrupt changes in light intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear without exposing it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

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

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for the colony to spread. Plan its location with neighboring corals and future coverage in mind.

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 as it acclimates. Adjust lighting gradually rather than making sudden changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance.

Give this zoanthid room to settle and spread in its chosen location.
