Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting, and acclimate gradually to avoid sudden changes in intensity. Start in a gentler area and observe its response before moving it higher.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow that keeps the colony clear without blasting it directly. Avoid stagnant spots and make adjustments if the polyps remain persistently closed.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room to establish. Begin with a secure position and adjust placement gradually after lighting acclimation.
Temperament
Generally peaceful, zoanthids can spread across nearby rockwork over time. Leave space around neighboring corals and plan its location so expansion can be managed.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. If offered, feed lightly and observe response rather than relying on feeding as a requirement.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and monitor polyp extension after introduction or any change in placement. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep the colony free of accumulated debris, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
Observe its placement and expansion regularly for a well-managed reef display.
