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

Use low to moderate lighting, then acclimate gradually to the final intensity. Slow adjustment helps this zoanthid settle without abrupt changes in light exposure.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding constant force directly on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Start conservatively with lighting and observe polyp response before moving it higher.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from corals you do not want it to overtake. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can spread across nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. If offered, feed lightly and observe the colony’s response rather than forcing frequent feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension, placement, and nearby growth regularly. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine aquarium work.

Give this colony room to settle and monitor its spread as it establishes.
