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. Acclimate it gradually to your lighting schedule to avoid abrupt changes and allow the colony time to adjust.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually if needed.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from neighboring corals. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread across nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

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

A measured acclimation period supports a smooth transition into an established reef aquarium.
