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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate it gradually to your lighting schedule, especially when moving it into a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a less intense location during acclimation, then adjust placement only if needed.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with future expansion in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread onto nearby rockwork and encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary focus for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Allow room for the colony to spread as it becomes established.
