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 lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter position, and observe its response before making further adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting the polyps to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef. Begin with a secure location and adjust gradually only after the coral has settled into its new lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their expanding growth can encroach on nearby corals if placement is not planned with spacing in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally while maintaining stable reef conditions.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension and overall appearance as it acclimates, particularly after changes to lighting or flow. Handle zoanthids carefully and use appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

A practical soft coral choice for thoughtfully planned reef placement.
