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 frag into a brighter area, and observe polyp response as it settles.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and allow time to adjust before making major changes to light or flow.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but a growing colony can expand onto nearby rockwork and encroach on neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main priority for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal opening and overall appearance after placement or adjustments. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Give the colony space, stable conditions, and time to settle into its placement.
