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, beginning gently and increasing exposure gradually as needed. Avoid abrupt lighting changes during introduction, and observe the colony’s response after placement.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow that keeps the colony clear without constantly blasting it. Alternating movement is preferable to a direct, fixed stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and acclimate lighting gradually. Secure the frag where it can remain accessible for observation while allowing room for future spread.

Temperament

This zoanthid is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave space between it and corals you want to keep separate, and monitor its expansion over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp opening, placement, and nearby growth regularly. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection, especially when moving or securing the frag.

Allow space for spread and make changes gradually after introduction.
