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. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt light changes, then observe polyp response as the coral settles in.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant hard stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only after it has had time to acclimate to the tank’s lighting and flow.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its ability to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand onto nearby rockwork and corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without making target feeding a required routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to placement and flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or other close contact.

A straightforward soft coral choice for lower to middle reef placement.
