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 introducing the coral to a brighter established reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without directing excessive flow at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only gradually as the coral settles into its lighting and flow.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it expands. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread across nearby rockwork and encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered conservatively as part of regular reef maintenance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response during acclimation. Make changes gradually, keep the colony secure, and use appropriate eye and skin protection whenever handling zoanthids.

A practical soft-coral choice for lower-to-middle reef placement.
