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. Start with gentler exposure, then acclimate lighting gradually while watching for consistent polyp extension and an appropriate response to its position.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Water movement should be indirect enough to avoid constant blasting while still helping keep the colony clear of settled debris.

Placement

Place this coral in lower to middle reef areas. Secure it where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then allow time to adjust before making repeated placement changes.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading as the colony establishes. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but giving neighboring corals clear space helps prevent crowding and keeps future placement options open.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so offer small amounts only if desired and observe the coral’s response without overfeeding the system.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension, surface cleanliness, and nearby coral spacing as the colony settles in. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Acclimate patiently and monitor its response as it settles into the reef.
