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, and increase exposure gradually during acclimation. Observe the colony after placement and adjust only as needed rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable position, allow time to acclimate, and relocate gradually if its response suggests an adjustment is needed.

Temperament

Give it room to spread across its chosen surface. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but expansion can bring the colony into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Check the colony routinely for its response to placement, flow, and nearby growth. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or frag work.

Allow space for growth and make changes slowly for a steady adjustment.
