Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and gradually acclimate the colony to its final intensity to avoid abrupt light changes.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle water movement should keep the colony clear without continuously blasting or folding the polyps.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location, then adjust placement gradually after observing its response.
Temperament
It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork over time. Leave room around the colony and plan its placement so expansion does not crowd neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without relying on feeding as a required part of care.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid sudden changes in flow or placement, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
Give it stable conditions and room to spread at its own pace.
