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 the colony settle without abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow that keeps the polyps clear without constant direct force. Avoid placing it where a concentrated stream repeatedly hits the colony.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Secure the frag where its potential spread can be monitored and managed.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for the colony to spread over nearby rockwork. Plan neighboring coral placement so expansion does not crowd other specimens over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as lighting, flow, and placement are adjusted. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially after shipping or major system changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, fragging, or maintenance.

Monitor its spread and make small placement adjustments as the reef develops.
