Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate it gradually to your lighting system, especially when moving it into a brighter area of the reef.
Flow
Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without directing a constant harsh stream at the polyps.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust only after observing how the polyps respond to light and flow.
Temperament
It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room around the colony and monitor its expansion so neighboring corals are not crowded.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary care focus.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension, color, and spreading over time. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.
Give this zoanthid stable placement and room to expand across its chosen surface.
