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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin with gentler exposure and increase gradually during acclimation, watching the colony’s response before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear of settling debris without directing a harsh, constant stream at it.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can remain undisturbed, then acclimate lighting gradually before considering any move upward.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its ability to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but give neighboring corals room and monitor the colony as it expands across available surface.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary care considerations.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for its response to placement, flow, and lighting. Make changes gradually rather than all at once. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or frag work.

Allow time for acclimation and adjust placement only when needed.
