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 gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions, then observe polyp response and adjust placement if needed.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and allow time for lighting acclimation before moving the coral higher.

Temperament

Allow room for spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension and surrounding space over time, especially after placement changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or other close contact.

Give this zoanthid stable conditions, gradual acclimation, and space to spread.
