Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter areas of the reef.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing current helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to constant direct flow.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the frag time to adjust, then observe its response before making changes to light or position.
Temperament
It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby rockwork. Leave room around the colony and plan its location with neighboring corals in mind.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, though stable reef conditions remain the primary focus for routine care.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting adjustments gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to placement and flow, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
Allow space for spread and adjust placement only after a gradual acclimation period.
