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 it gradually to its final intensity, especially when moving it into brighter areas of the reef.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and adjust only after it has time to respond to its new lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

Give it stable conditions and room to expand across its chosen rockwork.
