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 and acclimate gradually to brighter conditions. Start in gentler light, then observe polyp response before making changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Enough movement helps keep debris from settling around the colony without subjecting the polyps to constant direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it has room to spread, and adjust placement gradually during light acclimation.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room around the colony as it can spread. Plan neighboring coral placement so expanding zoanthids do not overtake nearby areas.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for consistent polyp extension after introduction or placement changes. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep the colony clear of debris, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give this zoanthid stable conditions and space to expand over time.
