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 it into a brighter reef area, and observe its response before making further changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable mounting location and allow time for acclimation before adjusting light or flow.

Temperament

Give it room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand over nearby rockwork and may eventually encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully as part of a regular reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp behavior after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during mounting, fragging, or other maintenance.

Allow the colony time to settle before making additional adjustments.
