Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure after introduction, then acclimate gradually while watching for consistent polyp opening and appearance.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant direct blast.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then allow time to adjust before moving it.
Temperament
Allow room for the colony to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can extend onto nearby reef surfaces and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so offer small amounts only if desired and observe the response.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Monitor polyp extension, placement, and nearby growth over time. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine maintenance.
Give this zoanthid stable conditions and space to establish on the reefwork.
