Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt light changes, then observe polyp response and adjust placement only as needed.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to constant direct flow.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with gradual light acclimation and leave room for the colony to expand across nearby rockwork.
Temperament
This zoanthid is generally peaceful, but it can spread. Give it defined space and monitor its growth so it does not overtake neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light remain the foundation of routine care.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in polyp extension or spread. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, fragging, or maintenance.
Plan its placement early for easy long-term growth management.
