Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving the coral between systems or changing its reef position.
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 location and adjust gradually only if lighting or flow needs refinement.
Temperament
Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors, while allowing room for the colony to spread. Monitor nearby corals and manage its footprint as it expands.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so offer small amounts if desired and observe the response.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for changes in extension or placement response. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
Allow time for acclimation before making placement or care adjustments.
